                DIVERSIFIED INTERGENERATIONAL CARE, INC.

 Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to honor 
Diversified Intergenerational Care, Inc., in recognition of the grand 
opening of their facility at the West Haven Medical Center on March 21, 
1997. This facility, which is the first of its kind in the Nation, will 
provide child care services and care for the mentally ill and elderly.
  The sole principals of the company, Scott L. Shafer and Bernard L. 
Ginsberg, were able to make this facility a reality through a lease 
they were awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs. They were 
selected for the Department's enhanced-use lease through a highly 
competitive process involving companies nationwide.
  Diversified Intergenerational Care, Inc. considers it an honor to 
work with the Department of Veterans Affairs. They intend to continue 
their partnership by developing other intergenerational facilities. 
Their goal is to satisfy the unmet need for care for children, the 
elderly, and the mentally ill at VA medical centers across the country.
  I congratulate Diversified Intergenerational Care, Inc. and the 
Department of Veterans Affairs for creating this very worthwhile 
facility, and thank them for working to make these vital services 
available to those in need.
