Spotted in the Palisadian-Post: January 29, 1981 Comedy writing is serious work It’s Tuesday night. The street is rather dark, as cars keep pulling up and parking. A steady stream of men and women march up to the small, modernesque house situated comfort- ably behind a well-groomed lawn. This is not an unusual sight in Pacific Palisades, with its abundance of church, charity and community committees. But this turns out to be an unusual meeting. The people are gathering, not to raise funds for a worthy cause, but to exchange yaks. It’s a comedy writing workshop and deadly serious.

During one lunch on set with her, the crew was working on a sci-fi scene, with an actor looking into a microscope. He recalled a big dome, which was lit up and very bright. “The dome just melted because what they had done is simply put a big light bulb inside and it heated up too much,” Zabrucky said. “I sort of chuckled a bit and there was a woman nearby who heard me. She was offended and kind of snapped at me: ‘What are you laughing about?’” Zabrucky told her that she thought it was a silly mistake. “She had this edge to her and she said, ‘I suppose you could do better?’” Zabrucky said. “And I said to her that—I was angry at that point because I was kind of miserable—while I’m sleeping I could do better.” The woman hired Zabrucky and the rest is movie magic history.

or more than eight years, Luxe Homecare, founded by Palisa- Fdians Fay Vahdani and Ben Adel, has had one goal: to keep seniors at home and out of nursing homes. The team, comprised of more than 100 employees, provides four core services to Palisadians: home health care, home care aid, hospice care and senior transportation. “Access to adequate transportation is often the major factor that allows seniors to live independently at home,” Adel explained. “It is the connection to vital activities, patient doesn’t need to stay on the psychological and spiritual care such as going to medical appoint- phone, talk to the insurance com- for the terminally ill and support ments, grocery shopping, and vis- pany, file a claim, get reimbursed,” for the patient’s family. iting family and friends.” Adel said. “They don’t need to do “We are, in a way, like a hos- Adel added that Luxe drivers any of those things, we do it all for pital,” Adel explained “We have are experienced, trained caregivers The Luxe team Photos by Rich Schmitt/Staff Photographer them … we take care of it, it’s a the same standard as a hospital … with CPR certification. free complimentary service.” everything that we do in the hos- As far as the other care that ing from an illness, have a physical al care, which includes a variety The most recent addition to pital—patients do, doctors do—we Luxe provides, Adel shared that limitation, or be chronically or ter- of tasks.
