🌴🌺 A little taste of the Caribbean came to Cheshire Home! 🌺🌴

Cheshire Home’s Dietary Department brought the flavors, sounds, and spirit of the Caribbean to life for Caribbean Day! Residents enjoyed a delicious spread of beef oxtail, plantains, cassava fries, and rice and beans, while the dining area was transformed with palm trees, colorful decorations, and Caribbean music.

Celebrating Caribbean Day gave our residents and staff a chance to experience new flavors, celebrate culture, and enjoy time together in a fun and festive atmosphere.

A big thank you to our Dietary Department for putting so much thought into creating a special experience for our residents! 🌴🎶🍽️

💙 Cheshire Home celebrates Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Month 💙

At Cheshire Home, we know that a spinal cord injury can change a person’s life in an instant. We also know it does not define who they are or what they can accomplish.

Our residents remind us every day that independence, purpose, community, and possibility continue long after injury. Through supportive housing, meaningful activities, opportunities for independence, and a community that believes in what’s possible, Cheshire Home helps individuals with spinal cord injuries build fulfilling lives on their own terms.

This month, we recognize the strength and resilience of people living with spinal cord injuries, celebrate their accomplishments, and raise awareness about the importance of accessibility, inclusion, and independence.

To our residents: You are strong. You are capable. You are UNSTOP-Able!

💙 Join us in spreading awareness and celebrating the possibilities that exist beyond a spinal cord injury. Visit www.cheshirehome.org.

A voice for change, right here at Cheshire Home. 💙

Former Cheshire Home resident and current Front Desk Receptionist, Liana, recently volunteered her time to speak with our residents about New Jersey Assembly Bill A2691, which proposes increasing the monthly Personal Needs Allowance (PNA) from $50 to $140 for low-income residents living in nursing homes, psychiatric hospitals, and developmental centers.

Having experienced life at Cheshire Home firsthand, Liana understands the importance of having the resources to make personal choices and meet everyday needs. She wanted to make sure our residents were informed about the proposed legislation.

We are proud to see members of our Cheshire Home community using their voices and experiences to advocate for positive change. Every voice matters, and every voice has the power to make a difference.

The Cheshire Home team had the opportunity to learn about an exciting new access option for power wheelchair mobility! 👀♿️

We welcomed Mary and Mike from Quantum Rehab for an in-service and hands-on demonstration of their proportional eye-gaze technology, which allows users to control the direction and movement of a power wheelchair using their eye movements.

Unlike traditional eye-gaze controls, proportional technology can translate where a person is looking into more precise, variable movement, which creates a smoother and more intuitive wheelchair driving experience.

We are always excited to explore innovative assistive technologies that can expand independence, mobility, access, and choice for our residents.

Thank you to Mary and Mike for sharing your expertise and giving our team the opportunity to experience this technology firsthand! 💙

💙 We’re just $2,700 away from helping Cheshire Home residents Rise and Walk! 💙

We are asking for the support of our Cheshire Home family to help us raise the final $2,700 and reach our $40,000 goal to provide our residents with continued access to the Rise&Walk® machine. Our "Help Cheshire Home Rise & Walk" Campaign has brought us incredibly close to our goal, and we need your help to take those final steps.

Brian’s journey is a powerful example of how the Rise&Walk® machine can help make walking again possible. In the video you can see Brian walking unassisted, something that took dedication, hard work, and countless hours of therapy. Through his work on the Rise&Walk®, Brian built his strength and progressed to walking on his own. He recently graduated from Cheshire Home, taking that hard-earned progress and greater independence with him into his next chapter.

Help us close the gap. Every donation can help make another step forward possible. 💙 Every step represents freedom, confidence, independence, and hope. Can we count on your support?

💙 Donate today and help Cheshire Home Rise and Walk by visiting www.cheshirehome.org/rise.

Every gift brings our residents one step closer to independence.

🧇 Cheshire Home Celebrates National Waffle Day! 🧇

Cheshire Home’s Vocational Rehabilitation Group celebrated National Waffle Day on August 24 with a waffle bar, complete with plenty of toppings and lots of opportunities for creativity! August 24th marks the day in 1869 when Cornelius Swarthout of Troy, New York, received the first U.S. patent for a waffle iron.

Residents practiced using a simple, accessible kitchen appliance, the toaster, which can be a helpful option for individuals with limited hand function or dexterity. The group also had the opportunity to practice everyday skills like opening packages and containers, choosing ingredients, cutting, and assembling a meal independently.

And, of course, everyone got to make their waffle with the toppings of their choice! 🧇🍓🍫

At Cheshire Home, everyday activities can become opportunities to build skills, confidence, and greater independence. Learn more about what’s possible at www.cheshirehome.org.

🌱 Growing something special at Cheshire Home! 🥕🍅🥒

One of our Cheshire Home gardeners, Maciej, has been hard at work, and his green-thumb magic is really paying off! Our resident gardens are thriving and producing an amazing harvest of vegetables.

From planting and watering to watching those first vegetables appear, gardening gives our residents the opportunity to get outside, connect with nature, and enjoy the satisfaction of watching something grow from their own efforts.

We are so proud of our gardeners and their beautiful, bountiful gardens.🌿💚

From our garden to our community, there’s always something growing at Cheshire Home. Discover more at www.cheshirehome.org.

We are excited to share that 3D printing is officially up and running at Cheshire Home! 🖨️♿️

A big thank you to Colin, an engineering student at Stevens Institute of Technology, who is joining us this summer as a Maintenance Support Specialist and helping our team learn the ropes of 3D printing as we begin designing and creating custom solutions.

For our first project, Colin helped Director of Maintenance, Mike Davidson, make custom caps for the Hoyer lift motor compartments. This is a solution that helps protect equipment and makes everyday use a little easier. A Hoyer lift helps safely transfer our residents between a bed, wheelchair, chair, or other surfaces, while also reducing physical strain and the risk of injury for caregivers.

And this is just the beginning. With 3D printing now in place, we have a new tool for innovation, customization, and solving real-world challenges for our residents.

Stay tuned to see what we create next! 🚀

There’s always something happening at Cheshire Home. Discover the people, programs, and ideas making a difference at www.cheshirehome.org.
