"Gone Fishing" at Middlewoods Assisted Living Communities!

Residents, family members, and staff of Middlewoods of Farmington and Middlewoods of Newington assisted living communities spent a beautiful day by the Farmington River on Wednesday, July 23rd, 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, Plant Operations Director Erik Wicander, and many other helping hands. Residents spent the afternoon by the river relaxing and enjoying the great outdoors, waiting 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.
