A representative of the Office of the Governor praised the opening of Fallon Health's Summit Elder Care facility on the South Coast, calling it "an incredible lifeline for residents and caregivers and family members" and saying the program will bring "world class health care" to the region.
The speaker framed the opening as part of Massachusetts' broader effort to ensure that people can "age with dignity, with independence, and with peace of mind," adding that the state seeks to be both the best place to grow up and the best place to grow old. "Programs like Fallon's Health Summit Elder Care, it's gonna be a wonderful thing for so many families across the South Coast," the speaker said.
On the podium, the representative described the facility's services as high-quality, wraparound care meant to help people age independently while giving caregivers "the support they deserve." "It's a place that is gonna deliver world class health care and do so in a compassionate way," the speaker said, reiterating the earlier characterization that the center is a "lifeline for families."
The remarks concluded with an official announcement: "I've declared November National Family Caregivers Month here in Massachusetts," the representative said. No votes or formal legislative actions were recorded in the remarks; the declaration was presented as a gubernatorial/administration proclamation during the event.
The opening and the proclamation were presented as part of a public remarks program on the South Coast; the transcript does not specify a date for the event, budget details, or implementation timelines for services at the new facility.
