Story & Photography by Tony Centonze Marie Eppes and her team at Brookdale were excited to host a Mexicanthemed lunch and networking event on Cinco De Mayo.

Brookdale Senior Living, which specializes in Alzheimer’s and dementia care, is also very active in promoting a healthy and helpful relationship among all senior care facilities and providers in Clarksville-Montgomery County.

“This is an opportunity for all our senior care providers to come together,” Brookdale’s Marie Eppes said. “Prior to the pandemic we were very active in hosting networking events that would bring all these people together, so when elderly people need help, we know who to send them to.

“There are people here today from assisted living, hospice, home health, sitter companies, even those who represent home medical products. To be able to be outdoors where it’s safe, and where we can properly socially distance, is a good feeling. And, I think pretty much all of us have been vaccinated.”

About fifteen people attended the outdoor luncheon. Food was provided by Moe’s Southwest Grill, and there was also a photo booth to provide a little fun.
