A little more from Jana ...

"I honestly love everything about Meadowlark! The residents, staff, the cutlure - everything is top notch. I often say to my fmaily and friends that Meadowlark is like my home away from home. At Meadowlark, we are surrounded by individuals who caredeeply about the well-being of others. One of the biggest reasons why I love what I do and where I work is that I get to be myself and be creative! Meadowlark provides me with so many opportunities where I can meet new people and make a real difference in the lives of our residents through the combined efforts of so many, including fellow staff members and our wonderful volunteers. There is no place like Meadowlark!"
 
"My favorite spot in Manhattan is Radina's Bakehouse. I have a bit of a sweet tooth and love what I call my frou-frou coffee, aka a vanilla chai or a white chocolate mocha. Good conversation, great company with great food and drinks is the perfect combination!"
