The Caring Connection

What a gorgeous October day in Windsor! 85 degrees and time to still enjoy our beautiful patio, flowers and pavilion! A special thank you to Jane Garibay and the Windsor Garden Club that helped to make this all happen!

The amazing Walk of Light was held on the Windsor Town Green last evening. It was held in remembrance of the 25th anniversary of 9/11. A luminary bag with the name of each and every one of the lives lost was represented.
A special thank you and recognition to Enita Jubrey, founder of the event. A thank you as well to Eileen Normandin, Julie Soucy Hurley and our own Caring Connection clients that helped create many of the luminary bags. Our client, Yvonne Malcolm, worked on them endlessly over the past month, even at home!!
Never forget 9/11/01🇺🇸❤️🙏🏼

August was a special month for birthdays at The Caring Connection! For the first time we celebrated THREE nonagenarians! Jane turned 90, Candy turned 91 and Alice turned 93! Happy Birthday to THREE amazing ladies!!!
❤️🎂❤️🎂❤️🎂

This month we had a wonderful intergenerational program! Out clients played bingo with the “Rising Star” middle school students from South Windsor.
Their director, Marietta St. Onge (who just happens to be Caring Connection’s nurse Judy’s best friend) was there to call and hand out prizes! Best of luck to these amazing students as they start the new school year!

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!
