End-of-Year Message from the Team

As 2021 comes to a close, we would like to reflect back over this past year and also express appreciation to all of our EQC and pre-service dementia students, clients, community partners, providers, and others we've had the pleasure of working with this year. 

It has been a challenging year for a lot of us, but feedback like the messages below from a client and an EQC student is what gives us the motivation and inspiration to continue serving the adult foster care home community.

“Cannot express it all. We are filled with joy...Thank you for your support and help during the process. Another step ahead!"

“Your former students...speak great things about you. You are transforming lives.”

We are so thankful for this positive feedback as it encourages us to continue to expand our reach, services, and support to the adult foster care home community throughout Oregon.

In closing out this year, we want to thank you for all you do and wish you a safe and Happy New Year. Here’s to peace, health, quality care, and gratitude in 2022!

Tracey’s Tips

Greetings everyone. As I searched for a good topic for the last newsletter of 2021, I landed on the topic of gratitude.

This is not a tip but a message to each of the caregivers in our community and supporters of the tireless work you do for seniors and people living with disabilities in your communities.

From going the extra mile by creating wonderful activities to enrich the lives of your residents, to waking up at all hours of the night to ensure their night needs are being met, we thank you for being there and providing a high quality of life for our senior population. 

You are all truly appreciated, and I am grateful to be included in part of your journey. I wish each of you a wonderful new year with new beginnings and a life of fulfillment and joy. 

Have an amazing day!
