Staff and residents of Middlewoods of Farmington and Middlewoods of Newington assisted living communities spent a beautiful day by the Farmington River on Wednesday, September 18th, reeling in quite a catch! Truly a team effort, the fishing trip was organized by staff from both communities including Activities Directors Ginny Brown and Lynn Tracey and Plant Operations Directors Mike Lamere and Erik Wicander. Spending the afternoon by the river, residents relaxed and enjoyed the great outdoors and waited expectantly for “big fish” after throwing in a line or two with the help of staff! A cookout was prepared by Middlewoods of Newington Chef Manager, Loretta Ward and burgers and hot dogs with all the fixings were served for lunch. Residents “got hooked” on the entire outdoor experience and enjoyed the great opportunity to meet new people, remember a favorite pastime, or try out “fishing” for the very first time. Over a half-dozen fish were caught by the group who celebrated the success of their great catch!
