Meet Stephanie, the social worker here at Salem. Stephanie is the first point of contact everyone has when they begin the process of moving in. She supports residents and families and loves having a positive impact on those living here at Salem. She is a bridge to our community, an advocate for residents and their families, and a bright light within Salem.
Happy #NationalSocialWorkDay Stephanie, and THANK YOU for all you do. #salemhomecareers #createrelationshipsbuildcommunity

A huge thank you to everyone who supported the Salem Ladies Auxiliary Faspa in a Box fundraising event last month. It was a huge success and a great kick off to the raised garden bed project. It’s not too late to still donate to this project (it just won’t come with Faspa, but you will get a tax receipt for donations over $25.00).
