Marcus Bolston takes pride in connecting with people from all backgrounds, “Anytime you get to work closely with families and the individuals you serve, you build a great connection that lasts for a long time.” In his role as Adult Day Services Director, Marcus enjoys creating a socially enriched environment, connecting with patients, and also ensuring high quality care for participants with a wide range of diagnoses, including Alzheimer’s disease, Dementia, and Down syndrome.

Marcus Bolston: Director, Morris & Gwendolyn Cafritz Adult Day Services They embody our Core Values of Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Innovation, and Care – listening to our participants’ needs then adapting programs to realize the participant’s goals. Shea Lott are wonderful examples of our commitment to creating a hopeful, inclusive community where all people realize their potential and live meaningful lives. I’m also proud of the diverse team at Easterseals that includes many men in caregiving roles and honored to highlight three today. Among the thousands of friends and neighbors who benefit from Easterseals programs every year are men like Michael Smith, who have become caregivers themselves. In previous blogs I’ve often highlighted the disproportionate impact of caregiving on women and as we emerge from COVID, that has been exacerbated by childcare difficulties as discussed in my recent Washington Post OpEd.Īs we approach Father’s Day, though, I want to take the opportunity to highlight some unsung heroes – male caregivers. That’s not surprising – according to Michigan State University, 66% of caregivers are women. Chances are that if I ask you to picture a caregiver you’ll picture a woman.
