HOW IS THE UKRAINE WAR IMPACTING THE U.S. ECONOMY? BY PHIL HALL Phall@westfairinc.com

he effects of Russia’s war in Ukraine on the U.S. economy are generating a new level of concern among investors. But according to John Traynor, chief investment officer at Bridgeport-based People’s United Advisors, the underlying

strength of the economy can withstand the negative resonance coming from the conflict. “The invasion has roiled energy markets, driven the near-term price of crude oil to levels not seen since 2008 and raised all the commodity prices, including wheat and aluminum, while compounding global supply chain concerns and threatening world peace,”

Greenburgh reaches out to attract businesses

Pkatz@westfairinc.com he town of Greenburgh has launched a program designed to help attract new businesses to the community while helping commercial

landlords and real estate agents as well as the town’s residents. The effort is anchored by the new website at the address greenburghedo.com that provides a centralized location to find available business sites, economic develop-

ment resources and employment opportunities with private business and the town itself. Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner explains that the new website has real estate listings covering vacant commercial

properties in Greenburgh’s key business districts: Central Avenue, Route 119, Saw Mill River Road; and East Hartsdale Avenue. It also contains a lot of other information designed to help businesses. The website provides links

Connecticut renews effort to eliminate lead poisoning threats BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

arlier this month, Gov. Ned Lamont proposed House Bill 5045, which is designed to tighten standards for lead concentration in the blood of children while making available funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) to help cities cover resulting costs. The ARPA funds will come from a proposed investment of $70 million in the 2023 Fiscal Year budget. It is intended to cover the municipal costs of complying with the new standards, and funds will also be made available for property owners and landlords in vulnerable communities to pursue abatement and remediation projects. An additional $150 million for finding and replacing lead pipes for drinking water is slated to arrive from the federal infrastructure bill, with allocations spread over the next five years. “For too long, Connecticut has failed to address the problem of lead poisoning in our children, a problem that impacts most deeply minority families and disadvantaged communities of our state,” Lamont said in a press statement

MARCH 21, 2022

announcing the proposed legislation. “Childhood lead poisoning has catastrophic impacts on health and development, including irreversible learning and developmental disabilities. Two years ago, 2,994 young children had enough lead in their blood that the CDC would have recommended an investigation of their homes.” Despite the high number of children with blood concentrations of lead at or exceeding federal recommended levels for investigation, state law only required 120 investigations. According to the governor’s statement, nearly 2,000 of the cases did not require parental notification per state statute. The proposed legislation, if passed, will lower mandated parental notices of high lead concentrations to 3.5 micrograms per deciliter of blood (μg/dL) starting next year. Onsite inspections will be required at 10 μg/dL instead of the current 15 μg/dL in 2023, and at 5 μg/dL from 2024 on. Epidemiological investigations of lead in children’s blood, which are currently triggered at 20 μg/ dL, will be lowered by 5 μg/mL until 2025 when the maximum allowed will be only 5 μg/mL. FCBJ

The Business Community’s Input Lead has many applications across industries, but it is also highly toxic and is particularly dangerous to children. According to the CDC, it can cause brain damage, stunt growth and cause a combination of lowered IQ and increased aggression. Some researchers say these factors increase the likelihood of criminal behavior in those with lead exposure. Those researchers attribute declining crime rates starting in the 1990s to the phasing out of lead as a gasoline additive. However, lead piping and lead paint were popular construction materials for many years and their presence can still be found in many older homes and buildings. “We do a lot of testing for people who are worried about mold, asbestos, other types of compounds and chemicals,” said Steve DiNapoli, the president of Big East Environmental, a Norwalk-based environmental project management and consulting firm. “But from what I’ve seen, lead probably has the most significant and immediately noticeable impact on people. Especially for children.” DiNapoli anticipated that the

new regulations could lead to an increase in demand for both testing and remediation services. “I would say on average, — and we’re not one of the largest firms, — we probably get one call a month for a lead-poisoned child incident. We routinely find a lot of lead.” According to DiNapoli, after New York City implemented a similar set of more stringent rules in 2020, legislation along the same lines was anticipated for Connecticut. He said that many businesses that test for and remove lead, along with the health departments of larger cities that do their own testing, had already recalibrated their equipment to detect the lower concentrations. “This was a big change,” he said. “We had to send our X-ray fluorescence guns into the manufacturer to recalibrate them to be more sensitive. But we saw demand for lead-based inspections in New York skyrocket. So, we’re glad we were already investing in recalibration. “Lead has a significant impact, especially on children,” DiNapoli added. “But lowering the standards is going to help everyone.”

Rockland importer accused of not paying for green plantains four separate shipments from Sept. 20 to Oct. 12. The price was fixed on delivering the plantains in suitable condition, according to the complaint, and GMC acknowledged receiving the goods but has refused to pay $86,400. Palmar accused GMC and company officers Ambar L. Bohorquez and Anthony M. Concepcion of breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, failure to account and pay promptly and other PACA violations. PACA, as the commodities law is known, regulates the buying and selling of fruits and vegetables and is meant to prevent unfair trade practices. It is overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. GMC did not respond to an email request for its side of the story. Palmar is represented by San Antonio, Texas, attorney Craig A. Stokes.

Entrepreneurs wanted for Norwalk storefront BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

free month of rent for a prime retail space in the heart of South Norwalk is only a contest entry

away. AGW SONO Partners, a real estate collective that manages 27 properties on Washington Street, the center of SoNo’s nightlife, has announced a contest to open a pop-up shop in one of their three vacant retail spaces. The space at 132A Washington St. is 700 square feet on the southern side of the street between Affogato coffee bar and Appetite Bistro. Businesses interested in taking advantage of the opportunity will need to pitch their idea to AGW SONO Partners and their marketing operation OnWashington by March 25, followed by interviews the week of March 28. There is no fee to apply for the competition and the submission form can be found online at https://bit.ly/3KHQs7I. The winner will be announced April 4 and will need to be ready to move in prior to June 1. The winner of last year’s contest, Brad “Eco Dude” Kerner, turned his pop-up space into a five-year lease for Eco Evolution, a one-stop shop for ecologically friendly home goods, antiques and, in the near future, coffee. Kerner credited the contest with giving him the chance to explore his entrepreneurial impulses and convert his popular Instagram page into a brick-andmortar business. “We had tremendous success with it last

Photo courtesy of OnWashington year,” said Linda Kavanagh, the director of OnWashington. “We had so many people entering and obviously we were really lucky to end up with Brad staying and signing a lease.” Kavanagh described the space as one of the smaller ones in the AGW portfolio, with a long and narrow layout that may not be ideal for every business. Still, she felt an entrepreneur with an idea may want to try out their concept in this pop-up setting. “It’s amazing how much some of these entrepreneurs can get done with just that one month,” she said. “What it really gives them is an opportunity.” Artist co-ops, antiques dealers and a

OnWashington will work with the winners in getting established, but the entrepreneurs will be expected to help with promotion and publicity — it is their own business, after all. Kavanagh stated the judges hope to find somebody who will fit the neighborhood, not just as a business owner, but as a community member. “The perfect fit is someone who’s going to embrace the neighborhood, someone who is motivated and can market themselves,” Kavanagh said. “It’s not ‘Field of Dreams.’ You don’t just put your business there and they’re going to come. You really do need to be able to promote it as well.”

Westchester Marriott sold for $40 million

Pkatz@westfairinc.com

he Westchester Marriott Hotel on White Plains Road in Tarrytown has been sold for $40 million. The property was purchased by a group of three entities: Taconic Capital Advisors, HEI Hotels & Resorts and Ares Commercial Real Estate Corporation. The hotel had been acquired in 2008 by the Northview Hotel Group. The hotel has 444 rooms and is on a 15-acre site. It has 21 event rooms for a total of 26,700 square feet of conference and meeting space, including a 9,000-squarefoot ballroom with a total capacity of 1,100 people. The property includes a Ruth’s Chris Steak House, Cooper’s Mill American restaurant, gift shop, fitness center, spa and laundry. The hotel will continue to use the

wide range of different retail businesses applied for the pop-up location in last year’s contest, according to Kavanagh, but while that is perhaps the most obvious way to utilize the space, she encouraged anybody with an idea to enter. “You know we can never have enough food and beverage items on the block,” Kavanagh said. “But it could be used as a shared office space. A coworking space concept would be terrific too.” While the overall quality of the idea is the single most important consideration in the judging according to Kavanagh, they want applicants to have the ability to take complete advantage of the opportunity.

Christopher Delmonico, the owner of the former Chubby’s in Bridgeport and the co-owner of The Ole Dog Tavern (formerly Lazy Dog Tavern) in Stratford, and Niall O’Neill, co-owner of The Ole Dog Tavern, agreed to pay $137,465 in back wages and liquidated damages to settle charges that their restaurants violated the Fair Labor Standards Act’s minimum wage and over-

time requirements. According to charges brought by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division, Delmonico and O’Neill threatened workers to force them to kick back approximately $50,000 that the employees were owed. The employers allegedly fired one employee for requesting the full amount of back wages and liquidated damages that the worker was owed, and the restaurant

owners used threats of blacklisting, termination and law enforcement and immigration consequences to achieve their results. The department added that the employers also allegedly made disparaging comments about an employee to potential future employers and drove two workers to a bank to cash their checks and then demanded payment outside the bank.

U.S. economy—

economic growth and growth in Europe in particular.” Yet Albert Brenner, director of investment and research at People’s United Advisors, observed that despite “the bad news out of Eastern Europe, the news about the US economy is good. The U.S. has led the worldwide recovery from the 2020 Covid-19 recession. Total economic output has fully recovered from the pandemic recession and is at the highest level in history and back at the trendline that it was before the pandemic hit. “The same is true of personal consumption, which accounts for nearly 70% of GDP,” Brenner continued. “Consumers are generally in very good shape with low debt and high savings levels, and are spending more than ever.” Brenner also pointed to a strong job market with “low unemployment and ample job openings.” And while total employment is still below the pre-pandemic peak, he highlighted that productivity has not suffered and companies are figuring out how to meet demand with smaller workforces. “Companies report that hiring and

retaining staff are the biggest challenges they face now that labor force participation is picking up, albeit slowly, after falling dramatically in the early stages of the pandemic.” Brenner also stressed that inflation, and not full employment, was now the principal concern of the Federal Reserve. With higher prices created by supply chain disruptions and spiking energy prices, inflation has proved to be anything but the so-called “transitory” state that the Fed initially predicted. But while the U.S. economy was mostly healthy, Brenner cautioned that “the rest of the world lags behind the U.S. recovery. And prior to the Russian invasion, we were expecting a synchronized global expansion with the rest of the world catching up to the U.S.” In the global picture, Traynor explained, the “regions of the world that are net energy consumers will suffer from higher energy prices.” But he predicted the U.S. will be in a better position as a net energy producer, a situation not found in markets such as Europe, Japan or China where the bulk of energy

resources are almost entirely imported. Looking ahead, Traynor noted that recent market declines were primarily driven by investor concerns on the impact of Federal Reserve policies rather than the Ukraine war. “So far, the markets have acted predictably,” Traynor said about investor reaction to the Russian invasion. “Energy is off dramatically, which will act as a tax on consumers. Economists estimate that a one cent increase in the price of gasoline correlates to about a billion dollar increase over the course of the year for investors as all energy costs rise. In the last few months, consumers have suffered from a $100 billion tax increase.” Traynor predicted the U.S. economy will be impacted by how the Federal Reserve begins to raise interest rates. “The last 11 years, we’ve essentially had a zero interest rate policy from the Fed,” he said. “We’ve essentially had free money, especially when you take a look at the cost of money after inflation as the Fed transitions to a hopefully more normal interest rate policy.”

But Brenner circled back to Russia, detailing that the war is putting a new priority on U.S. energy policy. “It has reframed the issue surrounding fossil fuels and nuclear energy,” he said. “We know that the president’s approval rating has been almost a mirror reflection of the Consumer Price Index and the cost of gas.” Still, Traynor insisted that today’s crises do not mean everyone will suffer financially. “We just need to keep in mind that investors have made money in challenging times,” he said. “And they can do so today. But we need to keep a clear head.” Traynor recommended that investors “avoid the headline obsession” to prevent being trapped in the paralysis created by constant negative news, to understand and stick to their risk tolerance, and not to “underestimate the resilience” of the U.S. economy. “The job market is strong, the economy is strong, the consumer is in very good shape,” Traynor said. “It’s healthy today and we believe we’re positioned to cope with the challenges of tomorrow.”

Greenburgh—

tax credits. It provides workforce development information while also allowing the submission of economic development ideas to the Greenburgh Planning Department. “We hired an economic development consultant, Grella Partnership Strategies based in Atlanta, and this was one of the recommendations that they made,” Feiner told the Business Journal. “I think this is going to be very useful. Brokers, realtors and landlords will be able to highlight vacancies. It will be very easy for people who are interested in locating here to take a look at properties quickly and see what’s available. There’s job information. There’s information on incentives the county and state are giving small businesses, so I see this as a real positive.” Feiner said it’s important for the town to track progress or lack of progress in attracting new businesses and filling vacant retail spaces. “Prospects can browse the website and see where the vacancies are and take a look at the photos of the buildings and narrow down their searches,” Feiner said. “This makes it easy for a business that is possibly looking for space to say, ‘Oh, this is really great, why don’t I go here.’ If Greenburgh is doing this and other communities are not doing this it gives us a competitive advantage.” Feiner said that the town plans to reach out to the commercial brokers, landlords and realtors to provide fresh information

on a regular basis and continue to make the website a valuable resource. “We already spent about $30,000 on this, developing the website, and I guess there will be some costs, but at the same time if you fill up the vacancies we could make it up and I think it’s important for the town to have as few vacancies as possible,” Feiner said. He noted that commercial real estate that is fully rented produces more tax revenue and is less likely to be the subject of a grievance seeking to reduce property taxes.

Feiner expressed confidence that Greenburgh has the ability to attract new businesses and pointed to the March 14 opening of a UPS Store at 656 Central Park Ave., while adding that he had just met with a business interested in a site at the town’s Four Corners intersection where Hartsdale Avenue crosses Central Park Avenue. “There’s room for optimism but it’s really going to take a lot of work from the town where everybody has to partner in this and do this together,” Feiner said.

“Vacancies are being filled now and we’re meeting with people who have expressed interest in coming to town,” Feiner said. “Expressing interest doesn’t mean that somebody’s going to actually sign a lease, but I feel that there’s growing interest and if businesses feel that the town is really going to go out of its way to help them be successful then word will spread. If we get good word of mouth comments, that will be helpful and help us get more businesses.”

Briefs— The department sued the defendants in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut in March 2021 and obtained a consent preliminary injunction preventing them from retaliating or discriminating against their employees. In addition to paying the workers $50,000 in the kickbacks they accepted and $90,000 in punitive damages, the employers must also pay $10,000 in back pay to one employee who suffered a retaliatory firing. The order also permanently enjoins the defendants from future violations of the FLSA’s anti-retaliation provision. “These employers violated their agreements to compensate their employees properly, illegally pressuring them to kick back monies that belonged to the workers in the first place,” said Wage and Hour District Director Donald Epifano in Hartford. “The Wage and Hour Division does not tolerate retaliation of any kind. Workers who believe their employers are retaliating against them because they exercise their rights under the Fair Labor Standards Act should contact us.”

Sikorsky to stop taking S-76 orders

Sikorsky Aircraft has announced it will no longer take orders on its S-76 aircraft, citing low demand and high production costs. According to a report in the aviation news site Vertical, the Stratford-based company only delivered on S-76 in 2021 to an Indian customer for use offshore. The aircraft was introduced in 1979 and more than 870 have been delivered worldwide. The most recent version, the S-76D, debuted in 2012. Jason Lambert, Sikorsky’s vice president of commercial and military systems, stated the company was “currently assessing partnerships with international companies” to license production of the medium type. “The 76’s safety record is incredibly strong,” said Lambert, “but the business case to be able to go put a crashworthy fuel system on that particular aircraft, frankly with the demand we were seeing, [we] didn’t have the business case to be able to justify the investment. We know there’s global customer demand for the platform, and so we’re talking to international partners about licensing opportunities. We would license IP and we would provide technical assistance and support for that international party to do the production and manufacturing.”

How to get a cannabis license in Connecticut BY KELLY F. O’DONNELL

onnecticut legalized recreational cannabis last summer, with sales expected to begin in mid-to-late 2022. The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection released its first set of cannabis license applications last month using its online platform, eLicense. This is the initial step in the state lottery for people who are interested in acquiring a license to operate a recreational, adult-use retail facility and other types of cannabis businesses. Applying for a cannabis license in Connecticut is fairly straightforward, but actually getting that license is a long shot. It’s called a lottery for a reason. There are different aspects of the process to touch on, but the main takeaway is to just get started as soon as possible. Time is Crucial The cannabis license process is extremely detailed and the window for lottery applications will close beginning on May 3. In addition to applying for the entity license itself, all financial backers with a minimum 5% ownership stake — including any spouses who own more than 5% together — must also complete a separate application. The license application is not complete until all the backers submit their own individual backer applications. You will need to get a significant amount of information directly from your backers. And that takes time. Social equity applicants (SEA), for example, will need to collect résumés for all owners, officers and key personnel showing places of employment and corresponding dates, as well as three years of federal tax returns for each backer. Social equity applicants may also need to go a step further to prove the validity of their SEA status, which might require old utility statements or school records to establish certain residency requirements. These aren’t necessarily easy-to-find documents and will require time to track down. It’s also helpful to create an eLicense account in advance, as it can take a day or two to authenticate. Fill in the Gaps One handy trick during the application process is to create filler sheets. When you begin the eLicense process, you may not have certain documents ready to upload, but you can’t move to the next

Just don’t forget to replace all placeholders before finalizing your application. Finding a bank Applicants need to submit banking authorization and signatory cards. This process is tricky, because there just aren’t many financial institutions that support the cannabis industry. You may need to consult with financial advisors or attorneys with experience in this area in order to identify institutions that will work with you. As long as cannabis remains federally illegal, most of the big banks will keep their distance. Some credit unions and specialized financial institutions are welcoming cannabis, but the fees and interest rates may be high. Because there is a 90-day window for each application, start that process now. A lot of the banking processes can take anywhere from 30 to 60 days for new WCBJ

customers. Get Certified It sometimes takes days to obtain certified copies of your formation documents from your applicable jurisdiction, and it can be costly if they need to be expedited. Applicants also need a certificate of good standing, which shouldn’t be too difficult in Connecticut but may take longer to order from other jurisdictions. First things first Now is not the time to pour a ton of energy and effort into the business plan and finding a location for a brick-andmortar location — unless you are applying for a non-lottery cultivator license located in a Disproportionately Impacted Area or working on a joint venture with a cultivator or dispensary. While a business plan is necessary to attract investors and you’ll want to find an optimal location eventually, it’s not the priority until you win the lottery. There is a great deal of competition among prospective applicants for space in communities that are welcoming canna-

bis businesses. But you don’t need to have a lease or all the operational elements in place to apply for a license. Bury yourself in the application and don’t worry so much about what the business is actually going to look like. This will, and probably should, seem backwards for a lot of people. Don’t Count on It The success rate for the lottery will be low. Part of the reason is a matter of supply and demand, but there also is not a limit on the number of applications one can submit. Entities with strong financial backing may try a stuff-the-box approach. There is, however, a limit on the number of licenses one can be awarded. At this stage, investing the minimum amount necessary in order to submit an application for the lottery is the practical approach. Kelly F. O’Donnell is a partner in the Business Organizations and Finance and Cannabis, CBD and Hemp practices at the law firm of Pullman & Comley, with offices in Bridgeport, Stamford and Westport.

Connecticut monitors cybersecurity threats to local businesses

for some time. The difference between cyber security risks and the pandemic though is the pandemic appears to be getting better. “The threats to cybersecurity continued to grow,” he added. “So, what do we do for the businesses that we run and the risks they continue to rise? We doubled the strategy. We put great people on the effort. We improve those things in our control and then do it again the next day.” Raymond also observed that more than 200 denial of service attacks on public websites were stopped by the state in the past year. One of them, directed at an unnamed high school in the state, lasted for as many as 112 days.

ov. Ned Lamont provided an update on Connecticut’s efforts to improve cybersecurity during a March 9 press conference at Fairfield University. Lamont said that his background in telecommunications made him cognizant of the potential damage of a cyberattack. “Our first tabletop exercise in the emergency operations center was simulated cyberattacks on a regional basis, since cyber threats don’t respect borders,” he recalled. “It was a simulation of an attack on natural gas systems in Massachusetts, which would have an impact on the grid in Connecticut and beyond.” Lamont credited that exercise, which included governors from across the region, with laying some of the groundwork for Covid response across state lines in the region. He also emphasized that the demand for cybersecurity experts is growing across Connecticut, with a need for more experts

Westport entrepreneur offers insight on overcoming mental health difficulties BY EDWARD ARRIAZA

I M PA C T G AN 2 02

earriaza@westfairinc.com ridgeport-based Optimus Health Care Inc. hosted its 2022 Mental Health Symposium on March 10 with Melissa Bernstein, co-founder of toy manufacturer Melissa & Doug and author of the book “Lifelines: An Inspirational Journey from Profound Darkness to Radiant Light,” as its keynote speaker. At face value, Westport resident Melissa Bernstein did not seem to be the likely choice to lead discussion on insecurities or giving advice on coping mechanisms — besides radiating joy and confidence, she and her husband Melissa and Doug Bernstein have successfully run Melissa & Doug and have raised six children. Yet Bernstein stated that while she is sincerely happy in the present, at a very young age and throughout much of her life she felt deeply unfulfilled and unsatisfied. “Unfortunately,” Bernstein explained, “I couldn’t articulate or even express that level of malaise as such a young person, and when I let even a bit of that darkness and despondency leak out, society told me that showing it was very, very wrong.” According to Bernstein, this signaled a need to conform to

M A K IN

societal expectations of a “normal” and “happy” individual — pressure that is felt especially as a woman. But before reaching a breaking point, she would find solace when she met her husband and the two started Melissa & Doug. It was through the toy company that she managed to channel her angst through creative endeavors. Though as she later found out, this proved to be a partial solution. “I was hiding the essence of who I was and only portraying this light, bright, shiny exterior to the world,” Bernstein recounted, noting how her dark thoughts had been with her all this time but were merely set aside more effectively. Though Bernstein genuinely

In time, she continued, the unpleasant thoughts came back. This time around, rather than push away the darkness, she took an open-handed approach and sought to understand how her mind worked. Bernstein studied the words and wisdom of various philosophers and went to therapy, and through these efforts she discovered she had existential depression mixed with overexcitability, a common set of conditions

experienced by many in the creative fields. “For the first time ever, I started to see these qualities I so despised in myself and wanted to expunge as the source of my salvation, the source of my creativity,” Bernstein explained. Now Melissa embraces, in a way, this aspect of herself and does not hide it. Her efforts now, in addition to running Melissa & Doug, are to spread awareness and let other women know that they are not alone. Through her Lifelines consulting company and her 2021 book “Lifelines,” she seeks to spread her

story, methods of self-discovery and paths of healing. The paths of healing, Bernstein elaborated, first involves a journey to inner space, which can be attained through professional help, such as therapy. Second, one must study spirituality and philosophy. The last path requires building a daily well-being practice, with Bernstein’s practice calling for selfcare, a sharp awareness of one’s moment-to-moment experiences and finding contentment through hobbies or other activities that bring one joy.

Cybersecurity threats—

statistics is that there are many more cyber-attacks that are not reported, or even undiscovered, as the average breach goes 187 days unnoticed,” Thomas said, whose company was founded in Fairfield 35 years ago and has provided cybersecurity services and consulting for clients throughout the region since its inception. “When situations such as the current one with Russia occur,” Thomas noted, “it seems that activity by threat actors, nation state and otherwise, increases threatening all types of organizations in all business sectors. The advice that I give the people is to make sure that they are vigilant about educating their employees

MARCH 21, 2022

and implementing controls to protect their data.” According to Thomas, the two steps every business should take — if they haven’t already — are enabling multifactor authentication wherever possible and ensuring all operating systems are up to date and paired with business grade antivirus software. “Without multifactor authentication it is a question of when you will get hacked, not if,” Thomas stressed. Multifactor authentication, also known as two-factor authentication and 2FA or MFA, sends a message to a trusted email or phone when a login is attempted with a one-time code. It adds FCBJ

another step to logging in, but it makes unauthorized access easier to catch and complicates a hacker’s work considerably. Built-in antivirus and firewall software is not up to the task of protecting a business, Thomas said. New viruses and techniques are developed every day, so he highlighted the importance of frequently updated software that will auto-install new patches. Above all though, staff needs to be aware of what to look for, since one person falling for a trick can circumvent the best technological defenses in the world. “If something smells funny,” Thomas said, “stop and check.”

Dunkin’ fights Harrison for drive-through window

BY BILL HELTZEL

Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

Dunkin’ franchise has sued Harrison for disallowing its plans to replace a store and add a drive-through window. BKP Harrison LLC, an affiliate of The Beekman Group private equity firm, petitioned Westchester Supreme Court last month to annul a Jan. 25 planning board decision, denying a new store on Halstead Avenue“ as irrational, arbitrary and capricious.” The Harrison legal department and planning board did not respond to emails asking for the village’s side of the story. The board’s decision cites concerns about car and pedestrian traffic. “A drive-through as proposed cannot be accommodated in a safe and efficient manner,” according to the planning board resolution, or “in such a way that will not adversely impact downtown Harrison.” The store, at 260 Halstead Ave., is between a U.S. Post Office and a CVS pharmacy that has a drive-through window. Dunkin’ wants to tear down the

Dunkin’ Donuts, 260 Halstead Ave., Harrison. Courtesy of LoopNet. 1,240-square-foot store; replace it with a slightly larger store with a drive-through window; and reconfigure the parking lot, driveways and sidewalk. The new layout, Dunkin’ says, would improve pedestrian and vehicle circulation and relieve parking congestion. The

drive-through lane, for instance, would handle up to 11 cars, and the company would restrict truck deliveries to six hours a day from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. Under the current zoning, Dunkin’ argues, the drive-through is permitted “as-of-right use.”

It says the planning board denial, in effect, requires the company to prove that there would never be any traffic issues. “Moreover, the planning board based its denial upon alleged data that was not included in the record,” the petition states, “whilst simultaneously ignoring or discrediting the materials BKP submitted into the record.” The planning board resolution says the site is among the most intensely used locations in a downtown that is adding hundreds of new apartments that will generate even more pedestrian and car traffic. Halstead Avenue at that point has a single lane in each direction, so additional traffic, as well as cars making illegal left turns out of driveways, creates more congestion. Dunkin wants the court to set aside the planning board’s decision. The franchise is represented by White Plains attorneys Taylor M. Palmer, William S. Null, Brendon Goodhouse and Allison Fausner. The planning board is represented by Hawthorne attorney Phillip A. Grimaldi, Jr.

WCA LAUNCHES HEALTHCARE TALENT PIPELINE PROGRAM SUPPORTED BY GRANT FROM WESTCHESTER COUNTY The Covid-19 pandemic was more than a health crisis. It caused record layoffs followed by a large number of people retiring early or changing careers. Currently, there are more jobs than job seekers and a major talent shortage across the U.S. A large portion of the good-paying jobs with good benefits and career advancement opportunities are in healthcare, the largest growth sector in our region. WCA is very fortunate to have received a sizable grant from Westchester County to train and place job seekers with healthcare providers while developing new career pathways and talent pipelines. The Healthcare Talent Pipeline Program (HTPP) will recruit 100 job seekers and employees who will be trained by Westchester Community College in Ossining and SWBOCES in New Rochelle for high-demand certified nursing assistant, medical assistant, and medical administrative assistant jobs. Participants who need it will also receive technology training, computers, and internet access from STEM Alliance and job readiness and service excellence training from Leadership Learning Group. Nonprofit Westchester (NPW) and other nonprofits in Ossining and New Rochelle will assist with recruitment and support services. The Westchester-Putnam Workforce Development Board and their Career Centers will fund training and subsidize employer costs for onboarding and upskilling employees. Employer partners include ENT & Allergy Associates, Westmed/Summit Health, Open Door Family Medical Center, and United Hebrew of New Rochelle. What is most unique about HTPP is that NPW and other nonprofits will help recruit and support veterans, immigrants, people with disabilities, youth, and low-income job seekers who are underrepresented in the workforce. The participants will also receive transportation support, technology, job readiness training, and paid work tryouts that lead to jobs. Employers are also key partners. And new collaborations and innovative strategies will benefit job seekers, employees, and employers in impactful ways. We are very excited to start HTPP this spring and share our outcomes over the next 18 months.

HUDSON VALLEY HV payroll service PayServ grows with technology and the times BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

ith international concerns growing about possible cyberattacks by Russia, China and other nefarious actors seeking to disrupt businesses, infrastructure and the order of everyday life, more attention is being paid to data and computer security. For businesses, that involves not only customer and financial data, but employee and payroll data as well. As if to underscore vulnerabilities, none other than the American Payroll Association (APA) was hit by computer hackers on July 13, 2020. The APA has more than 20,000 members, represents the industry in Washington, D.C., and provides education and training in all things payroll. When the theft of data on members and others was discovered, the APA tightened security and offered victims 12 months of free credit monitoring and $1 million in identify theft insurance. For a Hudson Valley-based payroll services provider, PayServ Payroll Corporation, located in Bardonia in Rockland County, computer and data security is integral to its business that serves company and employee needs in more than 40 states. When asked by the Business Journal for an overview of its approach to cybersecurity, the company responded, “PayServ and our software provider maintain a formal and comprehensive program designed to ensure the security of customer data, protect against security threats, and prevent unauthorized access to the data of our customers. A key indicator of that formal program is an ongoing review process by third-party auditors. PayServ performs ongoing Nacha and SOC audits along with internal, external and social penetration testing in addition to the ongoing and comprehensive testing done by our software provider.” Nacha governs the ACH Network, the payment system that is used for direct deposits and direct payments to banks and credit unions. SOC stands for System and Organization Controls. “We spend a tremendous amount of time on security,” Dan Rifkin, president of PayServ, told the Business Journal. “Internet and network security as a concept is something that’s relatively new in say the last 10 or 15 years. Once upon a time, we used to install locally based soft-

PayServ’s Dan Rifkin and Lynne Allan. ware on clients’ computers so that they could run the payroll and send it to us. Now, everything is driven off of the internet. Everything is web-based. Our entire business is cloud-based now and highly redundant, highly secure.” Rifkin said that the company was originally started by his father and two partners back in the mid-1980s. He said that the company did computer-based bookkeeping work for clients at a time when the personal computer was just beginning to impact the small business environment. “I joined the business in the early 90s. I did see an opportunity to provide payroll services,” Rifkin said. “I bought the company out from my father and his two partners in the mid-90s.” Rifkin said that he eventually rebranded the company as PayServ, jettisoned all of the work other than payroll processing and started growing that business. Grow it has, from a dozen clients back then to more than 1,300 today. Lynne Allan, CEO of PayServ, told the Business Journal, “We can service clients from one employee to about 1,500 employees. Our strength is supporting small to mid-sized local businesses. We deal with a lot of not-for-profits and support them and local municipalities. So what we’re really trying to do is support local businesses to give them all the services that they need, but having someone who’s local that they WCBJ

can turn to if they ever have an issue.” Rifkin said that throughout the pandemic, PayServ was considered to be an essential business and continued operating. “We were very, very involved with our clients and the clients applications for Paycheck Protection Program loans, the PPP program. We were very involved in getting documentation to our clients to help streamline applications for these loans. We gave a lot of advice. We did a lot of research and the rules were changing. At one point they seemed like they were changing almost every day. There was no blueprint for this. Nobody had ever done this before. We learned as we went with our clients and on behalf of our clients. It was a very, very stressful time. But, when your clients need help, you have to be there to help them no matter the circumstance. You have to be there to help them.” Rifkin said that PayServ differentiates itself from others in the field through its approach to payroll and human resource compliance work by being focused on client service, education and support. “What we do is really very complicated and we’re selling in to a segment of the employer population that is really not large enough to have dedicated in-house teams and in-house software platforms to support their payroll and human resource needs,” Rifkin said. “We really occupy a critical role in today’s employment environment. We

stay on top of all of the changing laws, both locally here in the Hudson Valley as well as statewide and throughout the country and on the federal level as well.” Rifkin pointed out that with employers hiring more and more remote employees, PayServ is capable of supporting payrolls throughout the U.S. He said the majority of their clients come from word of mouth and referrals. “People in general have never been as mobile as they are now in their lives. It’s not unusual for the payroll person at a client to end up leaving the company and moving to another part of the country and they get a comparable job with a company in another state,” Rifkin said. “They will advocate for us and pick up the phone and call us and say, ‘Well, you used to do our payroll when I was at client XYZ, but I’ve moved on now. Can you do payroll in Delaware, can you do payroll in Arizona?’ We’re not tied to a particular geographic area.” Rifkin stated that there have been many changes since he first got started in the payroll service business, many linked to technology. He said that the PayServ platform is cloud-based, allowing access 24/7 for clients and their employees from anywhere. “When I first started in the business, the idea of direct deposit was brand new. We were one of the first in the Hudson Valley to embrace it and start processing direct deposits on behalf of our clients,” Rifkin said. “Shortly after that, we got into electronic tax payment with the IRS and the states followed little by little over the years.” Rifkin said that the company currently provides products that are ancillary but related to payroll, including a time and attendance and scheduling platform. “We have human resource capabilities as well, both from a consulting standpoint as well as from a software standpoint. These are products that are relatively new to this business, kind of a hub and spoke approach. The hub is really payroll. Retirement plan, benefit plan administration is something that we do as well,” Rifkin said. Allan said that new areas being covered include expense management and tracking volunteering and giving. “What differentiates us from a lot of our competitors is we’re not just dumping this all on a client,” Allan said. “We really take the time to go, ‘What do you need? You don’t need to have it all now but it’s there as you grow.’ We tailor everything to the specific client.“

HUDSON VALLEY Central Hudson on higher electric, gas prices BY PETER KATZ

Pkatz@westfairinc.com entral Hudson Gas & Electric reports that energy analysts see continued volatility in energy prices against the background of dramatic rises and falls in recent months. The utility said that the price it pays on the energy market for electricity and gas likely will remain elevated this year due to the recovering economy, energy supply constraints, strong energy demands and global events such as the war in Ukraine. Central Hudson, based in Poughkeepsie, says that the residential price for electricity has fallen 46% from February to March. The company says that it charges consumers only what it pays to buy the electricity. While the price had been 21.6 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) in February, as of March 11 it was down to 11.6 cents per kWh. A kilowatt hour of electricity is one thousand watts used for one hour. Natural gas prices went in the opposite direction from February to March. While gas had been 73.9 cents per hundred cubic feet (ccf ) in February, as of March 1 it had risen to 91.6 cents per ccf, a 24% increase. “Higher energy costs harm our customers and the communities we serve,” according to Charles A. Freni, president and CEO of Central Hudson. “The energy resources produced in the United States now supply both domestic and international needs. We must ensure that state and federal policies allow for the expansion of critical energy infrastructure of all types to ensure robust and diverse energy supplies at stable prices, particularly as we transition to lower carbon resources.” Central Hudson points out that electrici-

Central Hudson crews repaired lines recently. ty and natural gas are provided by independent generators and suppliers and that other utility bill components, including taxes and delivery charges, are regulated and stable. It also notes that the weather helps determine the demand and usage for electricity and natural gas. Central Hudson says it hedges to help stabilize natural gas and electric supply costs against fluctuating market prices. Hedging includes contracting for a portion of energy at fixed prices and purchasing gas at pre-season prices and placing it into storage.

Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel sold to the hotel and would be rebranding it as a DoubleTree by Hilton. Visions said that the improvements would generate more than 20 construction jobs and result in the creation of more than 30 permanent full-time jobs. Minesh Patel, chief financial officer for Visions, told the IDA, “I would like to thank the board for consideration of this. We’re going to continue with the banquets in a very strong manner but enhance it with a flag franchised hotel which I believe the city, town, county really could use and really will really help in attracting people.” The hotel was built in 1987 and opened under the Radisson brand. It has 10 floors and 195 rooms. It was last renovated in 2008.

The Academy will deliver a coordinated, integrated set of transition and employment services to help young adults who have already transitioned out of high school or are about to and create a person-centered adult life plan that includes both personal and professional development supports. “Over the next 10 years, an estimated half a million young people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) will turn 21 and age out of high school, losing their eligibility for services through the education system,” said Tibi Guzmán, executive director/CEO, The Arc Westchester. “The Transition Academy delivers a critical support system for individuals who have lost the structure and stability provided by the educational system,” said Nancy Patota, executive director of The Arc Westchester Foundation. Founded in 1949, The Arc Westchester with 850 employees, is the largest agency in Westchester County supporting children, teens and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including individuals on the autism spectrum and their families.

Information for these features has been submitted by the subjects or their delegates.

SHOWCASING AMERICAN MUSICAL CREATIVITY

The Emelin Theatre and Copland House recently announced a collaboration showcasing more than 100 years of American musical creativity and innovation. This spring, the internationally acclaimed Music from Copland House ensemble comes to the Emelin stage and to audiences in Westchester and surrounding areas for a vibrant three-concert residency. The series is moving to the Emelin after having been a popular fixture in northern Westchester for more than 10 years, mostly at the Merestead estate in Mount Kisco. “The Copland House residency at the Emelin in Mamaroneck marks a tremendous opportunity to partner with an internation-

ally recognized organization, whose artistry further diversifies our already rich and varied program of world-class music,” explained the theatre’s Executive Director Elliot Fox. Fresh from the ensemble’s triumphant debut at the Kennedy Center debut, hailed as “historic,” music from Copland House’s electrifying programs at the Emelin will embrace American works from Gilded Age Romanticism and the Harlem Renaissance through 20th-century classics and contemporary masters. Each event, starting April 3, takes place on Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. and lasts onehour without intermission, and includes lively, post-concert talks with the artists. “While Music from Copland House

has performed widely at the nation’s leading concert venues,” said Copland House’s Artistic and Executive Director Michael Boriskin, “Westchester is our home – as it was for Aaron Copland – and we are excited to turn the Emelin’s spotlight onto America’s concert music and its world of thrilling discoveries….” Tickets are $45 orchestra and $35 mezzanine. Subscription packages when purchasing tickets for all three Copland House events are available at a 25% discount.

During the pandemic the organization thrived as more people stepped up to answer the growing need for support in helping at-risk youth across Westchester and Putnam counties. Specifically, the organization saw 181 new matches of Bigs and Littles through its community-based mentoring program, an increase from pre-pandemic years. In total, 370 children were supported by the program. Throughout the pandemic, program managers worked diligently to identify and help arrange the tools each match needed for success. Also, the organization was able to partner with numerous other community nonprofits to provide food, clothing and assistance with housing. Most importantly, the staff worked with each match to establish a Youth

Outcome Development Plan and Smart goals. “We have created a virtual oneto-one tutoring program for those children struggling with school shutdowns and occasional remote learning,…” said Valerie Brown, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Westchester County Inc. Now, in 2022, multiple grants from private and public foundations will continue to benefit the program, assisting with operating support. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Westchester County is a youth-mentoring organization that serves children who face adversity to help keep them in school, away from violence and substance abuse, while assisting them to achieve their full potential in life. Big Brothers Big Sisters of America is the oldest and largest youth mentoring program in the United States.

JOULE CLEAN ENERGY PROGRAMS SAVE NY RESIDENTS MILLIONS As electricity rates skyrocketed through the first two months of 2022, Joule estimates that its electricity-supply customers saved $7 million from July 2021 through February 2022, with $3.4 million in savings accruing in February arising from its participants in the Central Hudson utility zone due to the utility’s expected 46% rate hike for electricity. In Rockland Country, Joule’s program participants saved more than $2 million through January 2022 since the program’s November 2021 launch. Prior to this year, residents and businesses taking advantage of their municipal clean energy program by purchasing electricity supply or subscribing to a solar farm through Joule Assets, via Joule Community Power, have collectively saved more than $2.3 million since the first program launched in July 2019 through year-end 2021. Joule CEO Jessica Stromback stated, “We are proud to be transforming the way New York consumes energy. 2021 saw us breaking new ground with launches of the state’s largest community-choice aggregation program in Rochester and the first opt-out community solar program in the U.S. We are committed to developing a clean energy future for all by scaling local climate action initiatives. …This choice has been beneficial in helping make progress toward achieving New York’s aggressive clean energy goals, but it also has saved residents and businesses an estimated $7 million over the last 8 months.” Community choice programs empower participating communities to leverage the collective buying power of residents and small businesses at

large-enough scale to negotiate better terms. CCA also provides increased consumer protection while providing residents energy options and participation flexibility. While eligible residents are automatically enrolled in community choice programs, anyone can opt out at any time. In addition to helping municipalities reach their sustainability goals, Joule now offers larger institutions a way to decrease their electricity costs, help reduce New York state carbon emissions, support local renewable energy generation and participate in their surrounding community’s clean energy movement. Gregg Lerman, senior vice president at Joule Assets said of the new offering, “Through partnerships with solar project developers, we are now able to offer municipalities, universities, schools and hospitals subscriptions to local solar farms, enabling them to access the same solar benefits residents and small businesses receive by subscribing to a local solar farm — guaranteed savings without the hassle of receiving a solar bill, incurring costs or installing panels. “Project origination through CCA keeps the benefits local,” said Glenn Weinberg, vice president of sales and market development at Joule. “For developers, these community-driven programs allow for projects to be fully subscribed immediately through one municipally held contract.” Joule founder and Chief Strategy Officer Mike Gordon said, “These expanded offerings are not in isolation. Our communities are leaders in smart sustainable solutions.”

SINGER FAMILY DONATES SCULPTURE TO HOSPITAL

A Broadway review cast, directed and choreographed by New Rochelle’s Ursuline School students raised more than $2,000 for charitable causes, including children affected by the war in Ukraine. The fourth annual Ursuline Charity Cab-

aret is a school tradition, which raises thousands of dollars each year for a charitable cause. The benefit split the proceeds between Sanctuary for Families, an organization that helps victims of domestic violence, and Voices of Children, a

nonprofit Ukrainian organization that helps support children affected by the war. The Ursuline School is an allgirls, Roman Catholic, independent college preparatory school, grades 6-12, celebrating its 125th year.

Titled “Heal,” the 6 foot by 6 foot by 3 foot aluminum sculpture, designed by Mamaroneck resident Sid Singer and donated by him and his wife, Shirley Singer has been installed at the main entrance to Westchester Medical Center and the hospital’s Ambulatory Care Pavilion celebrating the healing care of health care providers across WMCHealth. “We are grateful to Sid and Shirley Singer for this meaningful and generous gift,” said WMCHealth President and CEO Michael Israel. “Our workforce across the Hudson Valley embodies the true meaning of the word heal in service to our patients and their families.” According to Singer, the “H” askew in the sculpture signifies that something needs to be corrected or healed.

From left: Kara Bennorth, executive vice president, development, WMCHealth; Shirley Singer; Sid Singer; Michael Israel, president and CEO, WMCHealth; and Josh Ratner, executive vice president, chief strategy officer, WMCHealth.

“Whether you are a patient or caregiver, going to a hospital may lead to a feeling of apprehension,” said Singer, “and on arrival there can be a sense of relief as trained professionals endowed with an incredible array of skill and technology will handle your care. This work of art is meant to be soothing to those that arrive at Westchester Medical Center as it represents FCBJ

The “Swingin’ into Spring” Benefit Concert for the San Miguel Program of Newburgh will be presented by Frank Shiner and Orchestra 914, May 14, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center in Chappaqua. Westchester thespian turned businessman, Shiner, is covering the cost of the entire

concert so that 100% of the ticket price will go to San Miguel’s co-ed educational services program for underprivileged, at-risk students in Newburgh. “The students in this program – their life could’ve been tragic,” said Shiner. “But because of San Miguel’s direct interventions, they go on to secondary schools, colleges,

careers and become productive members of their communities.” Shiner was Broadway bound when the show was abruptly cancelled. With a young family to feed, he put his theater career on hold and went into health care payment sales becoming founder and CEO of Westchester-based Rectangle Health, a health

care payment systems company. But music and acting never left his soul. After a two-decade hiatus, he sang at an open mic night at the request of his wife. One song, two, then three – and Frank was back in show business. The May 14, show will be a big band performance, backed by 22 pieces from the

Orchestra 914. “My typical sound is blues and soul, but I wanted this to be upbeat and different. We’ll do 12 to 15 songs that will have people tapping their feet,” Shiner said. General admission is $50; sponsor San Miguel student or family member $50; and premium admission with post-performance reception $75.

IDENTIFYING EXCELLENCE IN MEMORY CARE

ook for a Purple Flag when looking for the best memory care community. Simply put, this represents a declaration of exceptional care for those living with dementia. The Greens at Greenwich is the recipient of The Purple Flag Accreditation awarded by the Connecticut Assisted Living Association and the Alzheimer’s Association by successfully fulfilling rigorous requirements. “The Greens at Greenwich demonstrated extraordinary commitment in their successful Purple Flag accreditation submission,” said Christopher Carter, CALA President. We are a privately owned assisted living community located on the Greenwich/Westchester border in a beautiful residential area. The community consists of studio and one-bedroom suites with apartments designed to provide warmth, independence and safety. We have been passionate about providing excellence in memory care for more than two decades. We are focused on providing creative and unique programs, on-going staff education and training and strong relationships with both our residents and their families. Our commitment to providing creative arts therapy programs and interventions has been the core of our best practice. Besides our Purple Flag and our Creative Arts Therapy programming, our intimate size is attractive to many people. We have 30 resident apartments on one level, many with garden views. Our welcoming garden is a resident and family highlight to meditate, chat or take a walk. It is a great honor to be acknowledged as a leader in

our specialty of memory care. Although each staff person has his or her role, each engages in day-to-day connections and activities with residents. The chef may be talking about food with residents or taking a stroll with them in the garden. You will find the office manager actively engaged with a resident as they talk about “office procedures” and “work” or the Yankees. “Our programming philosophy is called The Cs of Connection,” Beth Liebowitz, Program Director says. “Memory impairment can lead to feelings of internal and external disconnection, impacting the quality of life. We use our specialized training as licensed creative arts therapists to pave the road for connection in a safe supportive and fun environment.” Persons living with memory impairment, no matter the cause, deserve to live their life with dignity and purpose. At The Greens at Greenwich, all persons are treated with respect and seen as “whole” people who have shifted due to circumstance and are journeying in a path they would never have expected. Their families and friends are also a part of our “village” where we all play a role in caring for someone whose life responds to “the moment” and to love. Maria Scaros, Executive Director, welcomes the opportunity to discuss your challenges regarding your loved one with memory impairment.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT SHORT-TERM REHAB From Harrison Edwards Whether you or your loved one are facing surgery or recovering from a serious illness, short-term rehab may on the list. But with so many options, what do you do first? 1. Start planning now. The body has an amazing ability to bounce back, but for optimal healing and function, you need put yourself in the hands of the professionals. If you’ve sustained an injury and/or joint replacement is in your future, or if you or a family member have cardiacpulmonary issues, plan on short-term rehabilitation. The right care center will give you the expert therapeutic services and medical care in a nonhospital setting, so you can rebound more quickly. 2. Do your research. In the Westchester-Fairfield

region, there are many good choices. However, some care centers are better equipped to handle your recovery than others. As you make your list, ask yourself: Is the care center close to home? Is it certified? Has it received high rankings? Does it have state-of-theart equipment?

paired with a good experience. Does the care center offer comprehensive care? Specialty services? Post-discharge support? Is it clean? Is there easy access to parking?

While professional expertise and outstanding care are top of the list, location is an important consideration. You want to be close to your medical team and family members as well.

The big difference: The Nathaniel Witherell. Located on 22-magnificent acres in Greenwich, near the Westchester County border, The Nathaniel Witherell provides worldclass short-term rehab, therapeutic, and skilled nursing care as well as caregiver support – all in a wonderful setting.

3. Pay a Visit. When making a decision, beware the ‘Chandelier Effect’. In other words, look beyond a glitzy foyer and ask to see the rehabilitation rooms, equipment, dining facilities, suites. And by all means, check the exterior and garden spaces. You want outstanding care, but

Short-term rehab candidates of any age are prioritized for admission and may be accommodated within hours. The Admissions staff is available six days a week to help expedite the admissions process. Call 203-618-4232 or visit their site thenathanielwitherell.org.

Assisted Living or In-Home Care? The Kensington White Plains Can Help You Choose

The Kensington White Plains is an enhanced assisted living and memory care residence built around the promise “to love and care for your family as we do our own.” We provide whatever care and services are necessary to meet the diverse needs of our residents. Our comprehensive spectrum of clinical support and partnerships with specialty medical resources address physical challenges. Our team offers round-the-clock vigilance, emotional comfort, recreational enrichment and companionship. And we give residents the choice to enjoy visits from guests as often as they like, just like home. We know what we do best, and we have seen Kensington residents ourish with our care and attention. But we also know that making the decision to move loved ones from their home to ours is not always easy. As a result, some families hire in-home caregivers so their loved ones can

continue living at home while getting help with task such as housekeeping, meal preparation, bathing and dressing. However, The Kensington offers distinct advantages over in-home care, such as: • Credentialed and insured caregivers who are trained to identify and respond immediately to concerning changes in health, behavior and memory • Routine opportunities for socialization, which ward off depression and memory loss • Fee structures that are often competitive when hourly in-home rates increase • Best-in-class clinical and memory care programs with three unique tiers • A true caregiving partnership with you If you need help making a care choice for a senior you love, then please reach out to us at The Kensington. We promise a compassionate ear, a candid evaluation of your circumstances, and comprehensive expertise.
