Special Needs Spotlight Fox Trail Memory Care Living

Fox Trail Memory Care Living is working with Peregrine Senior Living in revolutionizing expectations of the aging process at Princeton and Chester through a unique approach to memory care we call The Peregrine Way®. This exclusive approach follows three fundamental principles: We focus on long-term memories our residents still recall. We nurture each resident’s long-term memories to promote mental stimulation as well as a sense of comfort and calm. We help families cope with their loved one’s memory loss. We encourage family members to participate in every aspect of their loved one’s life to keep relationships strong. We train our staff to treat each resident like family. Constant staff education and training ensure each resident receives the best care possible. Fox Trail Memory Care Living of Chester and Princeton offers exceptional care, medication management, engaging programming, fall prevention, and ongoing education. We proudly utilize CarePredict© senior health care monitoring technology

as safety is paramount at Fox Trail. This technology provides insights for care staff and management, and peace of mind for seniors and their loved ones. Each resident has his/her own individual care plan overseen by medical personnel. With suites available for just 16 residents, our care team is truly able to get to know and connect with your loved one.

Freeman Law Offices, LLC

Watching family members with disabilities struggle through life is difficult. You want to help them succeed, but you are not sure how you can help. You reach out to your local school district for support, only to be told that everything is fine in school. You reach out to state agencies for other supports, but do not get a response. You name your family member as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy, but you are then advised that was not right either. Almost exclusively in advocating for individuals with disabilities, Freeman Law Offices, LLC is able to rely on personal and professional expertise to provide a onestop shop to assist you in navigating this process at every stage of life. We do the work for you so you can

spend more time enjoying each other instead of trying to make sense of it all. We utilize a holistic approach to help your family member succeed: advocating for services from school districts, insurance companies, and state agencies. We are committed to serving our clients with understanding and compassion. Knowledge is power, and we provide the knowledge needed to advocate for your family member. Schedule a consultation today by calling (609) 4545609 or visit one of our office locations nearest you.

as the game of ice hockey. During each week’s practice, the rink is divided to accommodate for beginner, intermediate, and advanced skill levels. All registered players can participate in weekly practices and home and away games, as well as several special events throughout the season. The Bulldogs’ coaching staff is comprised of adult

coaches and volunteers. Our junior coaches are high school-age players who play in traditional hockey programs. These junior coaches assist the coaching staff onice, enabling a low player-tocoach ratio and fostering an environment in which hockey players come together to learn and form meaningful relationships.
