We are looking forward to seeing many of you at our meeting on Saturday, March 8. Join us in the Arts & Crafts area of the HOA-1 Building, in room 4, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. We’re hoping that our members will also bring other friends and those not aware yet of this new program being instituted here in the SaddleBrooke community.
Karen Kochhar, speaker and developer of “Stay At Home”, will be giving us the inside information on this new program. We will be learning how this program will help give SaddleBrooke comprehensive solutions to aging at home, including lower cost and more services. This is beneficial information, especially as more residents use this program that is exclusive to SaddleBrooke. The program will provide information about staying at home, primary doctors, podiatrist visits, as well as ancillary services for food delivery, catering and much more.
