News

Prudential_Volunteers1Shelton, CT (June 23, 2015) - Volunteers from Prudential Annuities offered helping hands on the Wesley Village Campus, Thursday, June 11th, as part of a company-wide day of caring.

Several Prudential employees came from Shelton, and as far away as New Jersey and Philadelphia, to be part of the volunteer efforts.

The group of twenty-six volunteers helped with weeding, sweeping, and yardwork tasks across the 40-acre campus, as well as facilitating a variety of activities (e.g. bowling, bingo, baking) with residents.

“The Prudential volunteers were wonderful,” said Barbara Quinn, Director of Volunteer Services at Wesley Village. “We look forward to working with them again in the future and can’t thank them enough for their time and effort.”

Wesley Village is located at 580 Long Hill Avenue in Shelton and offers award-winning independent and assisted living, short-term rehab and skilled nursing, outpatient therapy and fitness, and a new memory care neighborhood, Lifestyle Transitions at Wesley Heights.
