The success of Skylark for Seniors is best stated in a host facility's written evaluation: "Many of our residents used to go to opera performances and love the fine arts. As they age, however, it becomes more difficult for them to go out...We are so grateful your talented team included us in such a fun way to meet seniors needs truly where ?they are at." The interaction and the compassionate way the performers treated our residents personally brought me to tears." Comments were sought through conversations and written evaluations were collected from all host facilities. The series of 18 Skylark Memories, featuring memorable moments from past productions and selections from a Skylark for Seniors presentation, reached 15,133 people on Facebook.
