Here’s what some workshop attendees had to say…

“I got more than what I came for.”

— Dale Dahlke, Lutheran Homes of Oconomowoc, Inc., Oconomowoc, WI

“I am grateful for the materials; the organization of the two days; the special treats; and the warm and generous hospitality.”

— Shelley Modell, City of Las Cruces Senior Programs, Las Cruces, NM

“Loved so much about it, but loved the employee attitudes and how they spread…the way they promote the company and believe in its mission. Loved the customer service attitude.”

— Becky Pike, Southwest Missouri Office on Aging, MO

“Well worth the investment. Often model programs don’t help you realize how you can replicate in your world.”

— Mark Holmes, Westminster Services, Orlando, FL

“…I am excited to share everything from the ‘big picture’ to the ‘nitty gritty’ with my agency and partners.”

— Jennifer Fralic, LifeCare Alliance, Columbus, Ohio

“What an incredible company with incredible vision and people. From the moment I engaged with Mather LifeWays, I knew there was something special about them.”

— Amaya Genaro, Amaya Joy, Inc, Trabuco Cyn, CA
