As we enter March and get ready for St Patrick’s Day it is amazing to see the Irish population of the South Shore. In a recent study it showed 19 of the top 20 Irish communities in Massachusetts are on the South Shore. Many seniors are interested in learning about their Irish heritage. One of the key differentiators of Cottage Caregivers is our commitment to spending meaningful time when with our clients including activities like helping them research their Irish ancestry. In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day be sure to learn to say Happy St. Patrick’s Day to your Mom, Dad, Grandmother or Grandfather!
Happy St. Patricks – sona la st patrick
