Saunders' journey and the founding of Send Me An Angel(TM) were personal.It began when her mother started experiencing fainting spells. The rapiddecline in her health was overwhelming. "One day I dropped her off after abusy day of shopping, and the next day, she was lost in her own garage, havingtrouble finding her way to the stairs. Soon she was spending all her time inher bedroom, her health and vitality started crumbling before me. I wasdetermined to rescue my mother, normally as busy self reliant go getter fromthe misery of what had become a lonely existence. I was determined she wouldnot become a prisoner in her own home. In fact, we designed Send Me AnAngel(TM) to work with very ill people, people suffering from dementia orAlzheimer's, like my mother, but also for older people who are just tired,suffering from milder maladies, simply depressed or just basically alone."

"In all my fifteen years now of long term care experience, especially inmy involvement as activities and care director, I always looked for somethingnew, something that would turn the tables on the conventional agingexperience," said Pepper Bell, director of Sunrise Senior Living.
