NEWS IN REVIEW We share the program for a Feb. 11, 2021 memorial prayer service with you and wish you peaceful moments of prayer and remembrance. Grandparent’s Day – Sunday, September 13th was commemorated with a pictures campaign. Thank you to all the families who submitted family photos to create ties of love with our resident grandparents Mother’s Day and Father’s Day 2020 did not happen as planned. However, our creative staff members and faithful families/Family Council were able to share some love and joy with a drive-by parade as well as a hot dog and beverage celebration with bagpipe soundtrack courtesy of Terry Walsh. Thank you to all who organized, participated in, and supported these unusual celebrations. Thanks also to the East Putnam Fire Station for staging and logistical support, Quiet Corner Cares, Rachel Morrison from Lowes, and CK Greenhouse in Cheshire for flower donations, and Gary Osbrey from WINY for the great coverage, which you can see here: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=267618164366078. While spring 2020 was an unprecedented time, new initiatives were in full swing at Matulaitis Home. See the patio makeover link above to marvel over initial phases of a cognitive garden makeover on our grounds. CMS Five-Star Rating: Once again, Matulaitis has received the highest, five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid. Congratulations to all of our staff members for their dedication and hard work! See Nursing Home Compare for more information. What Others are Saying About Matulaitis… “Everyone working there helped me to start a positive road to recovery. The work you all do is a wonderful blessing to each and every patient/resident you have in your care.” -Norma DiUlio “This facility has the most caring and compassionate people towards an individual—not only to myself, but to others on the floor. They are there for you to get better. I would not have gotten home as fast as I did if it were not for ‘everyone’ – they all deserve a ‘giant A-1’ in everything. Highly recommended.” -Helen Miner “This facility was beyond wonderful. We would put mom in no other nursing home but Matulaitis. Everyone from aides to nurses, therapists, social services, etc. are great people and always helpful and smiling.” -Mark and Karen Kaylor “Our family would like to thank you all for your outstanding care for our mother during the last days of her life! Each and every one of you played a role in helping to care for and get through such a difficult time. Mom said it was like ‘heaven.’ We are blessed to have such caring people in our community.” -The Swenson Family © Matulaitis. All Rights Reserved
