SHELTON - Residents at Wesley Village senior living communities received special Valentines this year as staff went all out to share the love with heartfelt cards, flowers, and every kind of chocolate treat imaginable.
“This is my first time celebrating Valentine’s Day here and I can’t believe everything that has been done for us,” exclaimed Crosby Commons resident Lee.
“We hand delivered over 400 personalized valentines and flowers to our residents to make sure they knew how much they mean to us,” said Marissa Salvesen, Manager of Mission Development.
Campus wide celebrations included musical entertainment, a traveling cart with hot chocolate and cupcakes, and lots of hugs and kisses all around.
The staff raised funds for the Valentine’s Day flowers and cards through a popular Celebrity Chef series.
Every Wednesday chefs from Wesley Village communities made specialty dishes that employees could purchase for lunch, or take home for dinner.
The Wesley Village Campus is located at 580 Long Hill Ave. It includes: Crosby Commons Independent/Assisted Living Community, Wesley Heights Independent/Assisted Living Community, Lifestyle Transitions Assisted Living/Memory Support Community, and Bishop Wicke Health and Rehabilitation Center.
The campus is owned and operated by UMH, a local, mission-based, not-for-profit organization.
