This month, The 95.9 Company Break welcomes Lisa Toth - Marketing Director of The Seasons, and Ashley Leonardo of Grand View Gardens. The Seasons in East Greenwich is a special not-for-profit assisted living residence offering traditional assisted living and memory care neighborhoods. Founded in 2002, The Seasons has continued the legacy of excellence established by their founders, Steere House Nursing & Rehabilitation Center and Scandinavian Home. As a not-for-profit organization, they are focused on the quality of care and services they provide to their residents versus the daily pressures to increase “the bottom line” by owners or investors. All resources are invested into their community and used to increase staffing, improve facilities, and enhance services or activities.
Grandview Gardens at The Seasons is a safe and caring neighborhood for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and other memory impairments. We’ve created a therapeutic environment where our compassionate, professional, and experienced staff works to provide understanding, support, and encouragement to residents and their families. Their goal is to facilitate independence, comfort, and security while surrounding your loved one with a sense of belonging and community.

Host Doug Still introduces you to The Founders' Oak in this month's episode of This Old Tree. The Founder's Oak in New Braunfels is a "Famous Tree of Texas." The 300-year-old live oak has given shelter to a Spanish Mission, a German Prince who brought thousands of settlers, old Texas families that date back to the Alamo, and the Comanche Nation. Its rich cultural history includes a new designation as a "Comanche Marker Tree." What is it about this tree's history that mirrors the founding of Texas itself?
