About this non-profit:

Wartburg’s mission is to provide superior care, delivered with dignity, compassion and respect. Wartburg in Westchester, NY, offers integrated, comprehensive senior care services to both residents and people in their own homes. From Hindependent, assisted living and award-winning nursing home care to rehabilitation, home care and adult day care services, their continuing care approach means they are there for the whole family. At Wartburg, the vision of healing and hope is upheld through care that touches on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health. . . and it has been for nearly 150 years. Through interviews with the artists who share their expertise and knowledge with Wartburg seniors a new theme emerges that becomes the moral of the story. Wartburg’s model helps the artist as much as the seniors by providing more than a supportive community in which to work. What we discover is that their art grows when they have an opportunity to share. And ultimately, the entire community becomes a better place to live for everyone. The moral of the story is that when you create a circle of creative giving everyone benefits.
