Our residents started the weekend smiling and singing along as Beth Cassidy shared the musical talents with us. Thank you for the lovely performance!

Inspired by the words of Martin Luther King Jr., “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?” Our residents live out those words every day. Despite full calendars of activities and programs, they always find time to help others—bringing joy, strengthening friendships, and building an even stronger community. Our residents teamed up with Ascend Hospice to put together winter survival bags for the Bridgewater Senior Center, helping ensure seniors stay warm and prepared this season.

Valentine’s Day at New Jersey Star Home was full of festivity and Cheer. Thanks to twin brothers Neel and Sameer Sood, 6th grader, who, were awarded a $500 grant for their project, Valentines for Seniors. Thank you, Neel and Sameer for choosing our residents to take part in your project. Link to patch program below:
