St. Paul's Senior Homes & Services Welcomes Some of San Diego's Neediest Displaced Seniors
Date:10/25/2007

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Fire evacuation from the comfort of your home to the floor of a high school gymnasium or the hallway of a stadium is difficult for anyone. But it's harder on seniors, especially those needing skilled nursing care or assistance with daily living.

Senior Beth Price was overcome with confusion when a Mt. Miguel Health Care Center she resided in was evacuated at 2:00 am on Tuesday morning.

I just couldn't leave her and go to work without knowing exactly what the next steps were. Soon we were told St. Paul's Senior Homes & Services had made additional beds available and you can't imagine how relieved I was."

Lucy talked with St. Paul's driver, Lupe Ferrell, who gave her directions and assured her that her step-mother would be well-cared for during the short trip to St. Paul's John A. McColl Family Health Center, a skilled nursing community located just a few short blocks from Balboa Park. Upon arrival Lucy says she was overwhelmed by the instant attention her step-mother and other seniors received.

"Each person was greeted by a staff member with warm, moist towels and drinks. The
