United Methodist Homes in Shelton wins Mature Media Awards
SHELTON - United Methodist Homes was a winner in the 30th Annual National Mature Media Awards Program.
The program, presented by the Mature Market Resource Center, a national clearinghouse for the senior market, recognizes the nation’s best marketing, communications, educational materials, and programs designed and produced for older adults.
UMH, a local not-for-profit senior living provider based in Shelton, offers independent and assisted living, enhanced assisted living, early memory support, skilled nursing, and short-term rehab. Among the organization’s award-winning communities are Wesley Village (Shelton), Middlewoods of Farmington (Farmington), and Middlewoods of Newington (Newington).
The organization received a Merit Award for their e-book, “7 Myths about Life in a Senior Living Community,” in the category of publications and editorials for senior living.
The book provides honest insights to common misconceptions about life in a senior living community. It also discusses the anxiety many people have about making a move and addresses, with transparency, the issues of independence, cost, lifestyle, relationships, differences between assisted living and skilled nursing care, and more.
The resource was designed and produced under the direction of UMH Digital Media and Marketing Manager Tracey Haughton.
“We see many seniors and their families overwhelmed by difficult emotions and misguided assumptions when they contact us for help,” said Elizabeth Schave-Bemis, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for UMH. “For a lot of people, the idea of moving to a senior living community brings great apprehension about quality of life. Our goal with this book was to offer credible information that would provide a more accurate picture of real life in a senior living community and promote a greater understanding of its benefits.”
