Visiting the Capital Region

Posted on: June 28 2013

I had the pleasure of visiting the Schenectady, New York branch of Armistead Caregiver Services last week. It was the first time away from my daughter, Lucy, so I was a bit nervous. As you probably have guessed Lucy was absolutely fine and I think the break was good for both of us. Chris does the outreach for the Capital Region branch and she’s helped start a very cool group of professionals who serve seniors and their families in one capacity or another. I went to the Schenectady branch because Armistead was hosting a networking event and...

Posted on: May 05 2013

Did you know that the folks at Armistead have started a company wide food drive called 4 Your Can-venience? I think it’s really cool. The goal is to raise a ton of food by the end of the year. In Vermont, the branch is dropping off sturdy, blue Armistead bags in different South Burlington neighborhoods. The idea is that you fill the bag up with non-perishable items for the Armistead team to pick up on a designated date. The food is then distributed to local non-profits that serve seniors. Several businesses have joined in on the effort, including...
