Helping Hands is a vital service both to the working class citizens of Arlington, and to the various service organizations to which it donates 100 percent of its proceeds. Last year, Cocoon House and the Boys & Girls Club were just a few of those organizations.
The city of Arlington has announced its schedule of upcoming classes.
For Rosemary Waterman, a medical records specialist, it will mean being able to look up files on a computer rather than wading through stacks of paperwork.
For Chasity White, it will mean finally being able to work with a fully digital x-ray machine, and for White’s fellow certified medical assistant, Tannis Chamberlain, it will mean working in an office that doesn’t also serve as an office supplies storage area for an already overcrowded facility.
With Washington facing budget deficits at historically high levels through the next biennium, the Governor and legislature must consider budget cuts that will significantly affect virtually all services and programs. No program or service will be exempt from scrutiny, including services that are provided to our most vulnerable citizens, the elderly and disabled served in skilled nursing homes like Regency Care Center at Arlington.
ARLINGTON — Several years ago, Arlington resident Jon Senn wanted to keep his aging and widowed grandfather at home, even though his grandfather was unable to handle many of the daily chores of living alone.
“Because not much family lived close, my grandfather had to transition to an assisted living facility in order to receive help with his daily care,” said Senn, who added that this scenario has become more and more commonplace for many families living in the Puget Sound region.
These circumstances inspired Jon Senn, an occupational therapist, and his wife, Linda, to help other families find quality caregivers for their parents. Together, they opened Cascade Companion Care, LLC, to help families throughout Snohomish County who find themselves in the same situation. When an elderly parent needs assistance in basic tasks such as walking, dressing, cooking or hygiene, they don’t necessarily need to be placed in a nursing home. Even a number of elderly people with Alzheimer’s or other diseases can remain at home with the proper caregiver services.
