In mid July the Recreation Team at Silver Springs Care Center took 26 residents to East Haven Town Beach to enjoy the weather, activities, sand and surf. The residents relaxed at the pavilion, dipped their toes in the water, got drenched at the splash pad, soaked up the sun and enjoyed tasty cool treats. The weather cooperated with plenty of sunshine and a good time was had by all. 

In early July, Touchpoints at Bloomfield received a generous donation of beautiful garden boxes, plants, flowers and soil from KBE Building Corporation of Farmington, CT. According to Touchpoints’ Cindy Payne, “The residents are so excited to receive such a generous donation. Our rehab team has utilized the garden boxes to work with our residents on strength and mobility through our horticulture program.” 

Employees from multiple iCare Health Network centers won scholarships and several care centers were recognized at the Connecticut Association of Health Care Facilities 90th Annual Meeting, held on the north lawn of Mystic Seaport on July 11th. Many pictures in the post. 

Snickers the Pony came to visit residents from Touchpoints at Chestnut on July 4th. Snickers hails from Shag Bark Hickory Farm right in East Windsor and made the residents’ day with his presence. Mr. Snickers, as the farm calls him, makes frequent wardrobe changes and is happy to participate in activities.
