A GRAND RIBBON CUTTING FOR FAMILYCARE COTTAGES

On Sunday, October 21, 2007, FamilyCare Cottages held the Grand Opening of their new assisted care living home at 820 Calle Cedro in Thousand Oaks. The event marked the first of several homes which the company is planning on launching in the Conejo Valley over the next several months.

FamilyCare Cottages' executive administrators, Debra Sadezwicz and Lisa LoCascio, feel this type of assisted care opportunity has been sorely lacking in Thousand Oaks for quite some time. "Our core philosophy is to foster the body, mind, and spirit of our residents by keeping them involved and connected with the world around them." LoCascio says, "Each of our homes will provide a comfortable, family-style living opportunity that offers our residents mentally stimulating and emotionally nurturing activities."

LoCasio is a Conejo Valley resident and registered nurse that formerly worked at the UCLA trauma center, while Sadezwicz brings over two decades of experience in healthcare administration. FamilyCare Cottages will also provide around-the-clock care, nutrition and exercise programs, group excursions outside of the home, and a number of festive celebrations throughout the year.
