Transition Tip of The Month
One of the exclusive programs overseen by Watson is Maristone Transitions. Once a person becomes a resident, "Transitions" will provide support to help deal with some of the issues that can come with change and aging.
At the Maristone, we are sensitive to the fact that not everyone has access to our communities. Those that don't, find our Transition Tips extremely helpful.
This month we focus on how to keep your loved one safe if they are starting to exhibit signs of wandering which sometimes occurs with Alzheimer's and Memory related disorders.

- Sign Up For A Special G.P.S. Recovery System
