Boris the Cat..Our Community's Pet

Boris the Cat lives on our campus and is much adored by everyone in the community. Now, let me tell you his story as to how he became Aldersly Community’s pet …
Boris belonged to a wonderful neighboring family. Here and there Boris would come and visit to give a friendly hello to all of our residents. Early in the morning Boris would come in, walk up and down from building to building admiring the beautiful campus. Before the day came to an end Boris would make his way back home to his family.

Boris’ former family decided to move to San Anselmo and take Boris with them as well. The day came, Boris and his family made their way to a new location for a fresh start. Days passed without Boris and his usual visit to campus and greeting to the residents. Until one day, a familiar meow was heard. To our surprise, Boris had found his way back from San Anselmo and had arrived to his familiar campus where his other family greatly missed him. As excited as we were at Aldersly to see the familiar sight of Boris on campus again, we had to notify his family back in San Anselmo that Boris had found his way back to Aldersly. Boris’ family came in to campus in a split of a second to pick him up and take him back to San Anselmo. Another set of days went by, and once again the residents began to miss the presence of our friendly cat. Now, one early morning, as residents made their way to breakfast, a recognizable figure could be seen by the community’s entrance. The residents were amazed to learn Boris had made his way back once again, on his own, from San Anselmo to the Aldersly community in San Rafael. Boris’ family realized Aldersly was where Boris wanted to be and decided to give him an early retirement letting him stay at Aldersly.
Since then, the Aldersly Community adopted Boris as the campus pet. Boris knew since the very first day, Aldersly was the place where he wanted to retire, but most important, it is where he feels at home the most.

Well it's good to be back

I have not posted in over a month! So sorry for that! I have been so busy. First I went to Des Moines, Iowa for Sales Training for new Marketing Directors. It was fantastic. Life Care Services is an incredible company and their commitment to training is impressive. (I grew up in Iowa so it was cool to be back home!) I also have been busy working on two new sales. Two apartments have been reserved and the remodel is underway. These apartments are going to be spectacular and the new residents moving in are wonderful and will make great additions to our community. I can't wait to plan the welcome reception!

Summer in Central San Rafael

Yesterday, I had an appointment with two ladies who live in Tam Valley where it is cold, foggy, and misty most of the summer! They could not believe how sunny and HOT it was here ! Only a few miles away in the same county and such different climates. We are in Beautiful Sunny Central San Rafael, California. It does not get any better than this. Life is AWESOME here!

A Special Luncheon

We had a donor appreciation luncheon the other day. The table was so beautiful set with our custom Royal Copenhagen china. The china was gifted to Aldersly by a Donor and Board member almost 30 years ago. The distinctive blue china is our signature!
