The Caring Connection

This month we had a very moving 9/11 presentation given by Enita Jubrey, our interim director. Special guest Maureen, who lost her brother on that day, spoke as well. Enita has organized the Walk of Life to honor the lives lost on 9/11. She has actually been nationally recognized for this. This year marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Caring Connection clients have already been working on decorating luminaries that will light the walkways on the Windsor Green.
Please join Enita and many of us on 9/11 for the Walk of Light!

Here are a few pics from our July horticulture therapy visit with Amy! She decided on a tropical theme and the clients strung their own leis with fresh flowers and beads! Aloha!! 🌺

This was the week to celebrate our beloved Joan, who turned 101 on Sunday, June 21st! 🎈🎁🎉
On Monday we had festivities at The Caring Connection with a delicious cake sent in by her daughter!
Today our Activities Director Eileen, Nurse Denise, Joan and a few of her closest friends went to Friendly’s! The pictures and videos tell it all!
Joan is an amazing lady who still walks independently and is “sharp as a tack”! A true inspiration!!
Happy, Healthy 101st Birthday, Joan!
❤️🎂

We were honored to have our State Representative Jane Garibay come by today! She stopped to speak with each staff member and client. Thank you once again Jane for all of your support!

Today is Roy’s birthday! He attends every Monday and Wednesday. Roy is a proud veteran and a master storyteller!
This Wednesday his wife and daughter came in and surprised him with a party hat, a balloon and cupcakes for all of us!
Happy Birthday to our dear Roy! 🎂🎈🧁

Today we celebrated the 14th Birthday of our beloved therapy dog, Jack! He has been coming to us faithfully, along with his handler/owner Kelly, for 11 years!
Jack celebrated with his own doggie cake, doggie ice cream and cards signed by the clients and staff! We love you, Jack!!!

Denise and I represented The Caring Connection at the Annual CT Home Care Program for Elders Provider Conference. It was very interesting and informative!
One of the highlights was spending a few moments with State Representative, Jane Garibay. Jane has been a longtime supporter of The Caring Connection. Her assistance and advocacy have meant so much to us! A special, “Thank you, Jane”!

We had another music filled hour with Renee on Monday! Renee comes twice a month for a fun and therapeutic time for our clients! She is a fan favorite for sure!!

We just love our therapy dog, Cassie!
Cassie and her handler, Kelly, come weekly to spread cheer to our clients and staff!!!
