Episode 2 - Live at Home – McGregor PACE

The Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly

By: Elliot Cruz, Development Director, McGregor PACE and Lee Ann O’Brien, Chief Marketing Officer, McGregor

Supporting seniors gives peace of mind to the individuals who care the most for them. We strive to improve the quality of life for seniors in the greater Cleveland area by ensuring they can remain in their community while receiving the care they need—if and when they need it. Three PACE Centers throughout Cuyahoga County invite PACE participants to come for medical services and programming activities and meals. They can come between one and five times a week! McGregor PACE provides transportation to and from their home. PACE Centers are at Forest Hill, Warrensville Heights, and Old Brooklyn.

Episode 3 - Helping Our PACE Seniors and McGregor Residents Stay Safe at Home

Coronavirus Prevention Begins With Excellent Hygiene

By: Elliot Cruz, Development Director, McGregor PACE and Lee Ann O’Brien, Chief Marketing Officer, McGregor

While our PACE centers remain closed, it is important for our participants to continue to practice strong hygiene habits at home. Many of our participants often spend time with their multigenerational families. While having the support and companionship of nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and other family members during this time is so important, it is also critical that all family members—including children—practice good hygiene habits during COVID-19. 

Likewise, we take our responsibility seriously when it comes to caring for our loved ones! This includes our residents, families, and our staff. We continue to go above and beyond, taking the necessary steps to protect those around us and keep everyone safe. Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures!

By: The McGregor Foundation: PACE Program, Hosted by Lee Ann O’Brien, Chief Marketing Officer

In their words, Lee Ann O’Brien, Chief Marketing Officer and Bridget Noonan, Marketing & Communications Intern shared their experiences and insight.

Through a grant provided by the McGregor Foundation, we offered the 2021 Summer Internship program. The goal of the program is to provide a meaningful work experience for undergraduate students, to match young talent with projects at McGregor and to build awareness of senior services as a career path. We began with 5 students this summer in the areas of accounting, human resources, communications, social work, and project management.

This $10,000 grant provided 5 stipends of $2,000 each to support 5 interns this summer at McGregor. The program ran for 8 weeks and the stipend covered 24 hours per week.
