A word from the Administrator…

At long last the Master Plan for the development of 261

senior housing units on our 70 acre campus is complete.

Phase one of the project will consist of 23 villas along

with a recreation building and a seasonal pool. The units

will be built around a “town green” whose focal point

will be an attractive gazebo surrounded by flowering

gardens.

Three different floor plans for our single level villas can

be seen in the insert that accompanies this newsletter.

Our spacious units will all have garages, screened

porches and some will even have walk out basements.

They are complimented by high ceilings, an open floor

plan, large windows that take advantage of light and our

beautiful waterfront surroundings. The dramatic foyers

open into an expansive living room and open adjacent

kitchen. Ideal for entertaining, this open, airy design

features a warm, bright living room with large windows

and optional fireplace. The kitchen and breakfast nook

offers abundant counter space and is open to both the

dining area and living room. The inviting master bed-

room suite is enhanced by a spacious walk in closet and

a luxurious master bath. Our smallest 1135 sq ft unit

offers an additional half bath and a comfortable den,

while the largest 1850 sq ft unit offers a second bed-

room as well as a den.

The next step will be to have town officials review our

plans and then obtain the required approvals from the

regulatory agencies. We anticipate breaking ground

next year and look forward to the first residents moving

in sometime in early 2013. If you would like to be on a

mailing list to receive updated information about our

development, please call Mary Stonely at 860-445-7478

ext 443 or email her at [email protected].

FUNDRAISING REPORT FOR JULY 1, 2010 THRU JUNE 30, 2011

Fairview once again maintained its five-star rating this year from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Our reputation is impeccable. We have our generous donors to thank for helping us achieve this recognition.

Below is a listing of our fundraising results during the past year from overall donations, special events, and grants

along with information regarding our ongoing annual fund:

During the period of July 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011 Fairview’s fundraising campaign has produced the

following results: Eight-hundred and sixty donations accounted for $215,349.46. This is a 13.3% increase over last

year’s dollar total.

The Fairview Antiques & Collectibles Auction was held on November 6 and generated a net profit of

$59,197.52. The eight auctions held to date have realized a total net profit of just over $310,000.00. (Please see

insert for information on the 2011 auction).

Fairview’s sixth annual car raffle was held on July 9. Five-hundred and seven tickets were sold for a net profit

of $30,199.90. This is the most the raffle has ever raised. Total net revenue for all six raffles is just over

$127,000.00.

Our sixth annual fund appeal is ongoing. It began in January of this year. As of this writing we have one-

hundred and thirteen donors who have contributed $13,906.54. This is a slight increase over last year at this time.

The fund year closes on December 31. Our goal is $25,000. The Grand Lodge of CT has also agreed to pro-

vide a $5,000 matching gift. So, we are within reach of our goal. If you haven’t already made a gift to the an-

nual fund a donor envelope is included in this newsletter.

THE DIME BANK

MAKES

CONTRIBUTION

The Dime Bank re-

cently made a

$1,000.00 donation

to Fairview to help

pay for the purchase

of resident bathing

tubs. The bank has

been a consistent

supporter of Fair-

view for several years. Pictured with David Brown,

director of development, is Nancy Potter, New Lon-

don, CT Dime Bank Branch Manager.

EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR

CHOSEN AT FAIRVIEW

The Culture Change Committee reviewed several

outstanding candidates that were nominated for the

“Employee of the Year” award. It was a tough deci-

sion, but the winner was nine-year veteran first shift

CNA Gladys Smith. Gladys was nominated by her

m a n a g e r

because of

the excep-

tional job

she does

day-in and

d a y - o u t .

She is al-

ways on

time, never

m i s s e s

work and

goes above and beyond expectations for compas-

sionate care to the residents she works with. Gladys

and her husband Brian will enjoy a week’s accom-

modations at The Cove at Yarmouth on Cape Cod

compliments of Fairview and through the generosity

of longtime Board of Trustee member Vin Barbieri

who donated the timeshare. Coincidently, Gladys

and her husband Jim never had a honeymoon so this

will be theirs. Pictured with Gladys (third from left)

are several members of the Culture Change commit-

tee including Administrator Jim Malloy (second

from right).

TESTIMONIAL FROM A

GRATEFUL FAMILY

There comes a time in our lives when we may need

to hand over the very person that is most precious to

us and surrender their care to someone else. Devas-

tating as this may be to families we are most grateful

in the way that your staff had given us a comfort

level in doing so as we witnessed incredible care and

compassion being delivered not only to our loved

one but to the family as well. By doing so we

(family) were allowed to just enjoy our last moments

with our Mom, our Grams, our Auntie, and say the

things we needed to say to her and to each other.

We were all carefully held in the arms of your entire

staff from nursing to the Bistro employees. What

better gift could we have been afforded. We are

grateful to Fairview and with most sincerity we

thank you.

From our family to yours,

The Shirkoff, Ackles and Brauneis Families

NIANTIC LODGE #17 DONATES FUNDS

FOR NEW DOORS

The Niantic Odd Fellows Lodge #17 donated

$1,600.00 to replace old, outdated sliding doors in

the Recreation Room at Fairview. The new French

Doors open out into a patio area off of the Recrea-

tion Room. The new doors are much more user

friendly as

they open

wider allow-

ing for eas-

ier access to

the patio by

residents in

wheelchairs.

As a bonus

the cost of

the doors

was half of what was expected so another set of slid-

ing doors in the Thames Room, a multi-purpose

room, was replaced with French Doors as well. Pic-

tured putting the finishing touches on the Recreation

Room doors is maintenance department employee,

John Dahl.




NIANTIC LODGE #17 AWARDS

TWO SCHOLARSHIPS

Niantic Lodge #17 awarded its first annual Robert

Fargo Memorial $500 Scholarship to recipient Kelly

O’Toole from East Lyme High School and its first

annual William Warren

Honorary $500 Scholarship

to recipient Bethany Hol-

land from Ledyard High

School. A major criteria in

the selection process was

the recipient’s involvement

in community service.

Both of these young ladies

have selflessly given so much of their time and ener-

gies toward enriching the lives of others both at

home and internationally. The awards presentations

were made during the lodge’s annual meeting and

picnic. Pictured (L-R) are Bethany and Kelly.

“POCKET LADIES” SUPPORT FAIRVIEW

AGAIN

The Groton Pocket Ladies have been hard at work

making clothing protectors for our residents. In the

past they have also made carry bags to attach to

“walkers” and colorful blankets. Pictured modeling

the new clothing protectors are (L-R) Sarah Stanley,

Recreation Department staff member, Carol Hessler,

F l o r a b e l l

Stoeckle, and

Marie Des

S u r e a u l t .

Missing from

the photo is

Sandy Banks.

Some of the

material for

the protectors

was donated

by “That’s Sew Debbie” located in Groton, CT. The

Niantic Lodge #17 also made a contribution to help

pay for the material.

INTERGENERATIONAL SOCIAL SKILLS

PROGRAM A HIT AT FAIRVIEW

Several children ranging in age from 5-16 visited

Fairview three times a week in July and August as

part of an intergenerational program sponsored by

the Sensations Charitable Foundation. The mission

of the Foundation is to create, conduct, and support

effective programs and services for families with

disabilities and health conditions. Through the ef-

forts of Brian Armstrong and Kate O’Boyle, pro-

gram directors, activities such as therapeutic art, mu-

sic, and social reading took place. Many of the

benefits of an intergenerational program for the chil-

dren included devel-

oping personal rela-

tionships, stimulat-

ing the senses, in-

creasing empathy,

improving commu-

nications skills, and

providing emotional

support. Fairview

residents in return received positive increases in

movement and mobility, experienced less isolation

and loneliness through social contact, and improved

their self-esteem. Pictured at one of the interactive

activities is Fairview resident Mary Soloweyko.

STONINGTON LODGE #26

PROVIDES NINE SCHOLARSHIPS

Through the generosity of the Stonington Odd Fel-

lows Lodge #26 nine $1,000 scholarships were

awarded to seniors who will be entering college this

fall from Stonington, Fitch, Ella T. Grasso Tech and

NFA high schools. These schools are located in the

southeastern part of the state of Connecticut. This

year the lodge increased the number of scholarships

it awards from three to nine. Criteria for the awards

include financial need and scholastic aptitude. Spe-

cial consideration is given to applicants who have

family members affiliated past or present with the

Stonington Lodge. Pictured are eight of the recipi-

ents who attended a formal awards presentation at

the lodge’s June meeting.




EXTENDED RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

PROGAM A BIG HIT!

A new initiative by the Fairview Recreation Department is hav-

ing a tremendous positive effect on several residents who suf-

fer from the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s disease. This

idea is a direct result of the recently concluded pro-bono health

action team program with Pfizer.

The thought is to provide extra

stimulation to residents so they

have more purpose in their lives.

The current group consists of ap-

proximately twelve residents. The

change in their daily routine has

been dramatic. In the past many of

these residents would sleep and stay

in their rooms much of the day.

Now they greatly anticipate attending this program that takes

place five days a week for an hour and one-half each day. The

activities are fast paced and include music, dancing and inter-

generational programs. This is another example of a very posi-

tive result of Fairview’s partnership with the Pfizer health ac-

tion pro-bono team. Pictured is Recreation Department staff

member Sarah Stanley dancing with resident Theodora Kittle-

man.

REBEKAH LODGE

MEMBERS

VISIT FAIRVIEW

Members of the Welcome Rebekah

Lodge #47 from East Hartford, CT

made a visit to Fairview in July.

Instituted in 1899, the lodge nor-

mally holds its bi-monthly meetings (except July and August)

in East Hartford. During their visit they toured one of the in-

dependent living apartments in Fellowship Manor and met with

Administrator Jim Malloy. The Welcome Lodge has been very

supportive of Fairview over the past several years making do-

nations totaling several thousands of dollars. These contribu-

tions have helped purchase much needed medical equipment

and items for residents which has greatly increased their qual-

ity of life. The lodge members are pictured with Jim Malloy,

Fairview Administrator.

VOLUNTEER

SPOTLIGHT

Fairview is very fortunate to have

so many wonderful volunteers. It

is always difficult to recognize

one above the rest. Diane Riser

has been volunteering at Fairview

for six months. She has been

helping in the newly established

Extended Recreation Activities program (see accompanying photo/

caption on page 7) for Alzheimer’s residents. This program has

proven to be a wonderful addition to the therapeutic recreation depart-

ment’s list of resident activities. We thank Diane and all of our volun-

teers for their dedicated support. We would be lost without them.

The Fairview library is open 24 hours a day for families to use. There

is internet access and a laptop computer. We will soon have the pro-

gram Skype which will allow families to visually communicate with

their loved ones if they have this program on their home com-

puters. Please contact Recreation Director Tomi Stanley at 860-445-

7478 ext. 426 or at [email protected].
