(Newington, CT) June 30, 2015 - Middlewoods of Newington is once again the proud recipient of two Connecticut Assisted Living Association Awards (CALA) for outstanding resident service.
Housekeeper, Aida Colon and Chef Manager, Loretta Ward were honored at CALA’s Annual Resident Service Awards held at The Water’s Edge Resort and Spa in Westbrook on Friday, June 19th.
Aida Colon began her career with Middlewoods of Newington as a part time/per diem CNA. Since then, she has become the community’s full time housekeeper and has made a significant impact on synergizing the two departments. She was nominated for her teamwork, collaboration, cooperation, and compassionate care, which has noticeably and positively impacted the building, the staff and most importantly, the residents.
Loretta Ward, having worked at Middlewoods of Newington since 2004 and now at Middlewoods of Farmington since January of this year, has taken the opportunity to make a real difference in both buildings. She has a personal mantra, “whatever is best for the residents” and she lives this mantra far past her duties as Chef Manager. She was nominated for the many ways she makes a true difference in the lives of the residents she serves and the staff she works side by side with – setting the tone and being a living example of the mission, vision and values of the organization.
Middlewoods of Newington is located at 2125 Main Street in Newington and offers independent and assisted living with a long tradition of award-winning care and service. The community is owned and operated by UMH, a local, mission-based, not-for-profit organization based in Shelton, Connecticut.
