Larchmont-Mamaroneck Community

Television (LMC Media) was founded in 1983 as a nonprofit organization to connect, create and inform the community through the use of digital media. In today’s fast-paced, hyper-connected world, the ability to successfully communicate, create and connect across a range of platforms is a crucial skill set.

Broadview at Purchase, the university-based retirement community on the campus of the State University of New York at Purchase College, has hired Kate Abate, an Ardsley native, as its residential services and intergenerational program director.

Abate is a credentialed gerontologist with a Master of Science degree in gerontology from the University of Southern California. Her job will be to focus on resident lifestyle, intergenerational culture and community development.

Broadview, which is expected to open in the fall, champions intergenerational connections and lifelong learning. Located on a 40-acre site on campus, the community has 220 senior residential apartments and villas and will o er many amenities.

Abate is also a wellness professional with experience as a certified personal trainer, nutrition coach, crisis counselor, yoga teacher and an accomplished athlete in bodybuilding. Prior to her work in gerontology, Abate ran a wellness business for 10 years focused on the implementation of behavioral and environmental health, nutrition and fitness.

Abate said intergenerational learning is not a new concept nor is it foreign to young people. “When you press a younger person, you’ll see that many have connections to their grandparents. Everyone has people in their lives who are older.’’

She said she will follow the lead of Broadview residents in developing opportunities for exchanges.

Broadview is being co-developed by Senior Care Development LLC and LCS Development LLC and will be operated by Life Care Services®, which has more than 50 years of senior living and housing experience and manages over 140 senior living communities nationwide. LCS has been rated best in customer satisfaction with independent senior living communities four years in a row by J.D. Power.

Purchase College, part of the State University of New York (SUNY) network of 64 universities and colleges, was founded in 1967 by Governor Nelson Rockefeller. His aspiration for Purchase was to create a dynamic campus that combined conservatory training in the visual and performing arts with programs in the liberal arts and sciences, in order to inspire an appreciation for both intellectual and artistic talents in all students. Today, Purchase College, SUNY is a community of students, faculty and friends where open-minded engagement with the creative process leads to a lifetime of intellectual growth and professional opportunity.

Life Care Services, an LCS Company, has the experience required to boost community financial performance, increase occupancy and develop new lifestyle and health initiatives to meet consumer expectations and help communities thrive. It is the nation’s second-largest operator of senior living communities and has expertise in the management of both Life Plan and rental communities.
