Legacy Lifecare VNA & Hospice Staff

Spectrum Home Health & Hospice Care Renamed Legacy Lifecare

July 17, 2024

Spectrum Home Health & Hospice Care, a highly respected provider in western Massachusetts, has officially rebranded as Legacy Lifecare VNA & Hospice. This change reflects the growth and broader mission of Legacy Lifecare, a network of nonprofit senior care organizations that includes JGS Lifecare, one of its founding members.

Madeline Presz, RN BSN, CHPN, and Senior Director of Home and Community Based Services for Legacy Lifecare, highlighted the significance of this rebranding. “We are thrilled to expand our home health and hospice services,” Presz stated. “Rebranding to Legacy Lifecare VNA & Hospice allows us to offer a wider variety of specific care services to more individuals. It’s exciting to provide essential support to the residents and staff of our facilities.”

As part of the rebranding, a comprehensive marketing campaign will disseminate information about the organization. With the division’s expansion, staffing levels will be adjusted to meet the growing needs of the communities served, including Longmeadow, East Longmeadow, Ludlow, Springfield, Agawam, Wilbraham, West Springfield, and Somers, Connecticut.

Madeline Presz, who has been with Legacy Lifecare for seven years, is enthusiastic about the growth and expansion of the hospice/VNA division. “Our goal is to be a valuable resource for local communities throughout western Massachusetts,” Presz explained.

In honor of this rebranding, a special celebration will be held on Thursday, July 18 from 5 PM to 7 PM at Michael’s Café on the JGS Lifecare campus located at 770 Converse Street in Longmeadow. Hors d’oeuvres and spirits will be served. To RSVP or for more information, please call Mary-Anne Schelb at 413-935-1791 or email mschelb@legacylifecare.org.
