A little farm magic at John Clarke 🐐🐰🤍

Our residents had the sweetest visit today with Farm Visits and some very special guests! From cuddles and smiles to plenty of happy memories, the baby farm animals brought so much joy to our community❤️

A very special thank you to the Preservation Society for helping make experiences like this possible for our residents. We’re so grateful for opportunities that bring this much joy, connection and a whole lot of smiles☺️

Safe to say… the baby animals were a hit! 🐐✨

Sometimes, the smallest companions bring the biggest comfort🤍🐾

Thanks to generous donors, we were able to purchase three interactive companion animals for our residents, and they have quickly become very loved members of the John Clarke family!

For many of our residents, these little companions bring back memories of beloved pets they once had, or the dogs and cats that were part of their families over the years. There’s something so special about that familiar feeling of holding, petting and caring for an animal and we’ve already seen so many smiles and sweet moments because of them🥹

We’d love to continue adding more companion animals for our residents to enjoy. If you’d like to help us bring a little more comfort, connection and joy to our community, donors are always greatly appreciated🤍🐾

August is National Make-A-Will Month, an important reminder for all of us to make sure our wishes are documented and the people and causes we care about are protected🫱🏼‍🫲🏻

At John Clarke Senior Living, we believe supporting older adults and families extends beyond the care provided within our community. Part of that means sharing helpful resources that may benefit anyone in our greater community, whether or not you or a loved one calls John Clarke home✨

This month, our friends at Ocean State Media are highlighting a resource that allows individuals to create a legal will at no cost through Giving Docs!

Creating or updating a will can help provide clarity for loved ones, document your wishes, designate beneficiaries, and ensure the people and causes important to you are remembered.

If creating a will has been sitting on your “someday” list, National Make-A-Will Month may be the perfect reminder to get started.

John Clarke is proud to connect our residents, families, friends and neighbors with resources that support planning, peace of mind and every stage of aging🤍

John Clarke Senior Living is grateful to be one of the local nonprofits chosen to receive proceeds from the Citizens Pell Bridge Run! We're hoping to raise funds to purchase JOY FOR ALL Companion Pets for six residents.

You can help bring comfort by making a donation here:
https://johnclarkeretirement.kindful.com/?campaign=1428678

Research and experience have shown that therapy pets can have a remarkable effect on individuals in the middle and later stages of Alzheimer's disease. They can help residents reconnect with positive memories and cherished moments from earlier in life.

For many, caring for a pet awakens feelings of purpose, nurturing, and joy.

Each pet costs $200.

Every contribution, large or small, brings us closer to placing one of these comforting companions into the arms of a resident who could benefit from the joy, comfort, and connection they provide.
