The Northbridge North Region hosted a Kickball Tournament as a fundraising event for the Compassionate Caregivers Fund! Teams from Avita of Brunswick, Avita of Wells, Ledgewood Bay, Sunnybrook and the Regionals all played for a chance to win! It was a fun-filled afternoon with friends, families (we love our fans!) and fundraising! Avita of Brunswick took home 1st Place in the tournament, but they’ll have to defend their title, the afternoon was so much fun it is going to be an annual event! Shoutout to Avita of Brunswick Resident Care Director, Danielle Dadiego, for coming up with this amazing idea! We were able to raise $1,500 in support of the Compassionate Caregivers Fund. This fund provides support for associates during their time of need. It is a great way to support those who do so much to support our residents. The good news is- you can still donate!

We are excited to share that our community, Avita of Wells, has been awarded the prestigious Bronze Quality Award by the American Health Care Association/National Center for Assisted Living AHCA/NCAL! This accolade marks the first step in a three-tiered process designed to recognize organizations that consistently strive for excellence in performance and quality care. Avita of Wells Executive Director, Dean Kivela shared, "choosing a career in senior living, particularly in dementia care, you do not often see tangible results for the incredible amount of hard work you complete on a daily basis. Our team at Avita of Wells is comprised of individuals from all walks of life, but with one common purpose, to provide the best care, at the best community, for all residents. Earning the Bronze Quality Award is a testament to the dedication, compassion, sacrifice and resolve that every single associate at Avita of Wells shows on a daily basis. We are proud to have maintained a high level of professionalism and quality through some of my most difficult times the Healthcare industry has ever faced. We will celebrate this recognition but will strive to set the standard for dementia care, because that is what our residents, families, associates and the surrounding community need and deserve.
