We are proud to announce Rose Sadoian, 1 year resident of Middlewoods of Newington, was selected by the Connecticut Assisted Living Association (CALA) as a 2018 Resident Accomplishment Award winner. Rose was presented her award at the 3rd Annual Resident Accomplishment Awards Luncheon on April 5th at The Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville.
Rose’s kindness, patience, and gentle and nurturing nature is what inspired Middlewoods to nominate her for the prestigious award. Rose always has something nice to say, in the most positive and genuine ways. She is always willing to help during activities and steps in when others may not be able to attend a bell choir performance.
Rose worked extremely hard on the tree we donated to the Wadsworth Atheneum Festival of Trees last year and was dedicated to finishing each ornament. She always compliments everyone on their efforts, including staff, her peers, and her family. Additionally, there is always something new to learn about Rose, and she always has a few surprises up her sleeves. Once, when a staff member walked by her room, Rose was listening to today's music, in the genre of Rap. Gleefully, when her friends were not convinced of this, she happily admitted to her peers (during an activity) that she listens to rap music to get her energy level up, so she can put her laundry away quickly.
Rose is adventure-seeking. One time, she attended a Middlewoods out-trip to a farm, where we hopped on a golf-cart with a tour guide to see the various animals. This was a new experience for Rose, since she moved to Middlewoods of Newington, but loved every minute of it. Rose also joined us on last-minute basis to perform in the Belltones Bell Choir at the Wadsworth Atheneum, because two of the bell choir performers fell ill that day. Even with her limits, it seems she has no limits.
