Hi Joey,
I just wanted to send you some pictures from today’s tour of the PACE medical model of care program with Senator Bruce Tarr and State Rep. Ann-Margaret Ferrante. They both are going to lobby for the PACE at Element Care program and advocate for our seniors when the “Preserving Access to PACE Act” comes out at the State House next week. We are very fortunate to have such caring legislators doing such good work for us!
I would encourage anyone who has medical needs or is a caregiver who is looking to keep their loved one home and out of a hospital or nursing home setting, to come to us at PACE in Gloucester to see if we can assist them. We are a non-profit healthcare care organization who’s mission is to keep people living in the community safely and independently for as long as possible with our comprehensive healthcare services, all covered by MassHealth & Medicare, for those 55 and over. If anyone would like more information or a tour, please call me at 978-283-7375. We are located next to Pathways for Children, across the street from the Open Door.
Thanks Joey!

Yeah, it’s STILL winter. It’s April 4th today and it snowed. And they’re saying there will be more. I have started to look for reasons to be happy about being here, and decided that there are some delightful aspects of winter here in Gloucester, although maybe not as numerous as in summer. Here’s a big one. Everyone knows how to drive these narrow roads.
I believe after living here for 20 years, it’s because of a clever maneuver that I have coined The Gloucester Pull Out. Some people from the outside think it’s rude, but I’ve never been able to figure out why. In taking a left turn from a driveway or side street, we wait for three or four cars, which is reasonable in the winter, and then pull slowly into the coming lane.
