Greetings from The Wellington Independent and Assisted Living retirement community! What a beautiful summer it has been on the north shore of Thompson Lake. Many of our waterfowl have grouped together to head south for the winter. True snowbirds! Did you know you could be a “snowbird” at The Wellington? If you don’t care to shovel that snow or drive on the icy streets, then maybe a winter stay at The Wellington would be the perfect fit for you!

What’s new at The Wellington you ask? September brings all of our fall fun. Grandparent’s Day on September 7th is the kick-off to National Assisted Living Week. This year’s theme is Caring is EssentiAL. Not only will we celebrate the wonderful world of assisted living, but we will also celebrate all of our hard working staff that are essential to the well-being of our Wellington residents each and every day. Some of the planned activities during National Assisted Living Week include Wellington Rocks Day, Tinsel Tuesday (You guessed it! Christmas in September!), Western and Watermelon Wednesday, Patriotic Day, Formal Friday and a four day Jeopardy tournament! It will be a whirlwind of a week but oh so much fun! Also new this fall, The Wellington will be starting resident History and Cookbook Clubs. We even hope to have our own Wellington Cookbook as a result of the new Cookbook Club. We look forward to sharing The Wellington cookbook, full of resident’s favorite family recipes, with others upon its completion!

October is sure to bring out the pumpkins, ghouls and goblins. The holidays of November, Veteran’s Day and Thanksgiving, remind us to be appreciative of our brave veterans’ sacrifices, grateful for fall’s harvest, thankful for the love and support of our family and friends and give thanks for the blessings of the past year. 2020 has been a year like no other, but there is always plenty to be thankful for.
