Shelton's Crosby Commons Wins Connecticut Assisted Living Association Award for 2014

Crosby Commons Assisted Living Community at Wesley Village is the proud recipient of another prestigious Connecticut Assisted Living Association Award (CALA) for Best Practices in Managed Residential Services. The award was presented at CALA’s 19th Annual Meeting and Awards Program held at the Aqua Turf Club in Southington on Wednesday, December 3rd.

The Best Practices Award is presented to an assisted living provider who creates innovative programs or unique approaches in the area of managed residential services which exemplify excellence and are worthy of sharing with others. The community was recognized for its program entitled, “The Crosby Commons Express,” which featured an unforgettable New York City experience for Crosby residents, with opportunities for shopping, education, fine dining, arts, entertainment and more, in the comfort of their home. The program was organized by Activities Director, Mary Ann Milano and the entire Crosby team.

Crosby Commons is owned and operated by United Methodist Homes (UMH), a local, mission-based, not-for-profit organization based in Shelton, CT. In addition to Crosby Commons’ award, UMH was also the recipient of the 2014 CALA Media Award for their e-book resource, The ABC’s of Assisted Living, and received an award for their Middlewoods of Farmington community in Farmington, CT, as well.
