For Autism Acceptance Month, residential living residents at The Village at Shrewsbury participated in a service project in which they made worry beads to donate to those with autism spectrum disorder. Worry beads are a string of beads manipulated with one or two hands. The bead manipulation can be beneficial to those with autism by helping to manage anxiety, improve focus or provide calm when they are dealing with a surge of emotions.

Eight of Joan Weller’s friends went out of their way to make her feel special as she celebrated her 85th birthday on August 6! Joan, a resident at The Village at Shrewsbury personal care residence, and the group have been friends for so long they have a name for themselves – “The Froggies.” They made quite a splash by bringing Joan balloons, cupcakes, flowers, food and other goodies and singing “Happy Birthday” to her from outside the lobby!
As her April 2 birthday approached, Millie Shaffer thought the current healthcare crisis may mean that for the first time in 100 years, she would not have a cake for her birthday. However, team members at The Village at Shrewsbury did not let that happen! They not only made sure Millie had cake for her 102nd birthday, they also set up an iPad so her son and daughter-in-law could wish her a happy birthday via Facetime. We are so happy Millie was able to celebrate her special day – and enjoy a delicious piece of cake! - Residents at The Village at Shrewsbury were treated to green drinks and cookies to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
