"Dad & Me" quickly becoming a new dad's best kept secret.

by James Mahaffey


We just finished up our second session of Dad & Me at Little Lovage Club and Lovage Babyblends and I'm sad to see it end. This is one of those situations that you never expect to become such an integral part of your weekly routine but it quickly does. It's therapeutic, it's honest, it's laid-back, it's informative and adds perspective to a situation that us dads previously went through alone (in some ways). Technically, I teach the class but I assure you I got just as much out of it as anyone else and I couldn't have asked for a cooler group of guys to hang out with these past few Sundays (hence our decision to continue to meet). Even second timers like me could stand to benefit. So if you know of any dads (and babies) that are looking for some sort of outlet or dedicated dad/baby time, or a mom looking for a few sunday mornings to herself check out the link and register for our next session. http://ow.ly/CHlTO    -reporting from the #frontlinesofFatherhood


For the sandwiched generation.

by James Mahaffey


Recently The Boston Center for the Arts featured contributions of local adults from the Ellis Memorial Adult Day Health Program in the South End.  This is just another example of how Ellis helps it's clients, their families and our community thrive by keeping the great depth of wisdom and energy of these respected community members active and accessible to all.  

Our Adult Day Health Program (ADHP) is a medically based community health model for elderly and disabled adults. It is designed to enhance the quality of life for the individuals we serve and keep them living with their families or in their own homes in the community.
