Message from Megin Hemmerling, Regional President

Dear Residents and Families,

As we welcome fall, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on the beauty that surrounds us. The leaves are especially brilliant this year, and the crisp autumn air has made it a spectacular time of year. Whether it’s a walk through the gardens or simply sitting by the window, I hope everyone is enjoying the change of seasons.

We wish our Jewish residents, families, and staff a very happy and healthy New Year. We also hope you enjoyed Sukkot and the beautifully decorated sukkots on our Chelsea and Peabody campuses.

Our community proudly participated in the 17th ALS/MS Walk for Living on October 5. It was a glorious day, which you can read about elsewhere in this newsletter. Please know that it’s not too late to support this important cause. Donations are still being accepted, and every contribution makes a difference to our ALS, MS and ventilator dependent residents.

Our winter menus will soon be in effect. Residents can look forward to heartier soups and stews as well as comforting seasonal favorites—perfect for the cozy days ahead.

Let’s not forget to set our clocks back on November 2 as daylight saving time ends. While the days grow shorter, enjoy the season and everything it has to offer.

Lastly, a reminder to schedule your flu shots and any other vaccinations recommended by your doctor. The health of our residents is our top priority!

All the best,

Megin
