Are you planning a visit home for the holidays? If you're an adult child of an aging parent, the holidays may be the only time of the year you get to check up on dear mom and dad—particularly if you live out of town. According to a 2011 survey by the AARP, it's reported that 90% of adults, 65 and older, live home alone by choice. For this reason, it's important for adult children to watch for warning signs in and around the house when home for the holidays.

The green wave of making buildings more environmentally safe is taking the senior living industry by storm. According to 2012 big data reported by Energy Star, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) program, Americans have saved a total of $24 billion on utility bills and have prevented gas emissions equal to that of 41 million vehicles. This kind of savings will only increase over the next few years, putting less strain on our wallets and protecting the earth for generations to come.

Presbyterian Senior Living (PSL) is pleased to partner with Milagro House of Lancaster and the Lancaster County Council of Churches to provide used vehicles to selected program participants. In the past, PSL residents or their family members have offered to donate vehicles for use at our communities. On occasion, we have gratefully accepted some of these generous offers; but depending on the PSL community and its needs, it hasn’t always been appropriate for the campus to put them to use. Now, through this new partnership, the vehicle can be donated through PSL to benefit the Milagro House participants.
