We feel it is essential to share current events; innovations in care; and personal stories of those who make CiminoCare such a special company, including management, staff, residents, and families. We hope you’ll find the following articles to not only be educational, but also an indication of what we feel is important, inspiring, and entertaining. We truly enjoy caring for Seniors and like to share what we do to make a positive difference in the lives of those around us.
Tanya Benjamin, Resident & family Services for Portola Gardens, shares her story for The Longest Day campaign. Started by the Alzheimer’s Association, The Longest Day encourages those with loved ones affected by Alzheimer’s to join the cause & get creative to raise awareness and fund to find Alzheimer’s disease.
The Journal of American Geriatric Society recently confirmed what we already suspected, that music – listening, playing or creating – has a significant effect on cognitive functioning for older adults with dementia symptoms. Portola Gardens is excited to welcome Rosabell as our new Musical Activity Coordinator to help improve the quality of life for our residents through music and activities!
Join us as we celebrate Older Americans Month (OAM) with this year’s theme of “Communities of Strength.” After a challenging year and being apart, this is a great reminder of the importance of community for support, connection and compassion.
Tanya Benjamin has been part of the Portola Gardens team since 2019 and recently was promoted to
the Move-in Coordinator. She is the point person for everything a new resident or family member needs.
We offer specialized support for individuals with hearing, vision, mobility impairments, and other disabilities.
Our goal is to foster an inclusive, supportive community through reasonable accommodations that enhance each resident’s quality of life.
