Jennifer A Brush Receives Fulbright Specialist Award to Norway

ByJennifer Brush

I am honored to have been appointed a Fulbright Specialist.  My first project will involve traveling to Norway to work with two long term care communities: VILLA ENERHAUGEN and KVINESDAL BO OG DAGSENTER.  During my stay in Norway, I will be teaching the Montessori philosophy for elder care, and guiding each community in creating a Montessori prepared environment where older adults can engage in meaningful and purposeful experiences.  I truly appreciate the opportunity to participate in such meaningful work.

For the past two years, Brush Development has been collaborating with Presbyterian Communities of South Carolina and McMillan Pazdan Smith Architects to design the new Evergreen House at Summerville, a thriving Montessori memory care community.
