“Thomas Svobada arrived at the
nursing home in NE Portland
when the cherry trees outside
his window were bare. … Now
the blossoms have peaked and
on a warm spring afternoon
they drift onto his shoulders
as he sits outside in his
wheelchair.”
– David Stabler, reporter,
The Oregonian
Thomas is Oregon’s most
prolific and performed
composer. For the past
seven months, he has been
recovering from a debilitating
stroke that affected his right
side with partial paralysis. It
happened suddenly when he
and his wife of nearly 50 years
were preparing dinner. For
weeks, his recovery was slow,
but then he began improving,
and he continues to make
progress. And he continues
to move people through his
music.
Do any of us plan for this kind
of an event? No one I have
interviewed ever has. One of
the lessons from this heart-
wrenching and heartwarming
story is that legacy and giving
back are the essence of who
and what we are—today and
tomorrow. Thomas is known
as a composer whose music
is played around the world,
a teacher to a generation of
music students, a mentor
to scores of composers, an
amazing pianist, and a playful
friend.
People move to Touchmark
for many reasons. Most
will tell you, though, that
they wish they had moved
here sooner. All appreciate
the fullness of life and
opportunities for living—and
continuing to create—their
legacy. Each person has a life
story and talents to share,
and overwhelmingly residents
are optimistic and grateful
for the options available at
Touchmark.
To find out more about
the possibilities of living a
{FULL} Life and providing
a personal legacy, contact a
member of the Full Life team.
As Robert Schuller said—and
others repeat—“If it’s going to
be, it’s up to me.”

What comes to mind when
someone hears the word
concierge? The friendly, smiling
person in a hotel lobby who—like
the proverbial fairy godmother—
makes wishes come true? Well,
the Touchmark Fulfilled
Living Concierge Service
team members don’t wave wands,
but in dozens of ways they assist
Touchmark residents to live the
Full Life.
“Launched about a year ago,
Touchmark’s Fulfilled Living
Concierge Service has proven to
be vital and practical,” says Deb
Kincaid, Concierge team member.
“We offer event planning, pet
and plant care, alterations, fun
monthly specials, and more!” One
of the team’s most popular services
is the airport shuttle. Touchmark
is located less than 15 minutes
from Portland International, and
it’s a quick, comfortable, and
affordable trip in the Town Car for
residents—and visiting friends and
family.
Team members Patty, Leslie, Amy,
and Deb also provide personal
assistance and basic first aid.
All four are certified nursing
assistants. They invite you to visit
the Concierge office, located in the
lobby. Let them assist you to live
the Full Life!
Concierge it!
