While sending care packages to troops overseas is a time-honored tradition, Emeritus at Vacaville delivers them to local senior veterans or their surviving spouses during Memorial Day week in an initiative designed to assist them in staying safely in their homes. The program, called “Heroes Emeritus” in honor of the veterans’ service, is part of a national effort by Emeritus Senior Living to deliver more than 2,000 care packages and provide a helping hand with safety measures for seniors.
The Heroes Emeritus care packages include items that make a senior’s daily life and home more secure. In addition to delivering the packages, the Emeritus team performs a home safety check to ensure the living environment is free of any potential hazards.

Heroes Emeritus partners include Omnicare, Caring.com, the Fischer Group, Life Care Funding, Gulf South, Kellogg’s and Campbell’s — all of which made generous donations to fill the veteran care packages.
