Retirement of Sheila Edstrom

As you most of you already know,  Sheila Edstrom, our long time Social Worker and Transition Coordinator (and so much more!) retired effective 12/31/2019.

In order to honor her for her many years of service, the Friends of Ann Kiley Center board members held a luncheon for her in the Kiley Auditorium on December 27th. We presented a bouquet of roses to her, along with a VISA gift card for her use.

We greatly miss her already! Her depth of knowledge, calm demeanor and support  for our organization and Kiley parents was a gift for all of us.

Good luck with your future endeavors, Sheila! Thank you!

The Friends of Ann Kiley Center often assists the center with funds to offer activities for the residents. As an example of the many weekly activities which the Ann Kiley Center offers to its residents, the residents had the opportunity to enjoy Fitness Classes, Bingo, Bowling, Open Gym, movies and a Friday Night dance recently.  There should be a monthly calendar including activities offered posted in each resident's home.  Please check with your son/daughter/relative's home manager for the location of the posting.  If you have questions regarding the extent to which your loved one can participate in these activities, please check with the home manager and/or the HPC for more information.
