A Colonie home is now safer for a retired veteran.

Retired U.S. Army Reserve Officer Rosetta Burke faces an increased risk of falls because of mobility issues.

Officer Burke was the First Female Assistant Adjutant General of New York state, and a major general of the Army National Guard.

A ramp was installed at Officer Burke’s home to minimize the danger of tripping or falling.

Jewish Family Services of Northeastern New York installed the ramp with funding support from Albany County.
