In partnership with social media and web consultants New Industria, Touchpoints at Farmington provided technology and social media training to residents. Knowing that with the holidays comes new gadgets, Touchpoints offered an hour long training session for a handful of residents on use of their tablets and devices, how to stay connected via social media and email, and other topics meant to increase their accessibility and communication with loved ones and their communities. 

The Touchpoints at Farmington team celebrated a key milestone in employee safety; 500 days without time lost to a work related injury. For all of their hard work, attention to safety and dedication to a team effort, the staff was treated to brick-oven pizza from Bill’s Mobile Brick Oven. iCare leadership shared with the Touchpoints at Farmington team that it takes “ideas, expectations, management, and enthusiasm to make such a safe workplace.”

The residents at Touchpoints at Farmington have been delighted by a new friend who has been visiting the skilled nursing community on a regular basis. When Tenley comes through the door she is greeted with a very warm welcome. Tenley is a beautiful black and ruby Cavalier Kin Charles who has recently graduated from the Tails of Joy Training Program to become a Certified Pet Therapy Dog.
