Cheshire Home residents gathered to advocate directly with local state officials about discrepancies in Medicaid coverage within long-term care facilities. These were not policy discussions, only real stories about access to equipment, therapy, independence, and dignity.

Our residents spoke from experiences, reminding decision-makers that policies impact real people every day. Advocacy is rehabilitation. Inclusion is not optional. Systems improve when the voices of those affected are at the center of the discussion.

Cheshire Home residents attended the roundtable asking for self-determination and meaningful representation with the motto “Nothing about us without us,” made popular by James Charlton. A prominent American disability rights activist, author, and leader in the Independent Living movement, Mr. Charlton fought so that no policy, program, or decision should be made about people with disabilities without their full and direct participation.

We are proud of our residents for leading the conversation and pushing for a more equitable future.

A perfectly fitted wheelchair doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of precision manufacturing, deep expertise, and a coordinated team that puts the person first at every stage. When the right equipment, the right specialists, and the right clinicians come together, real independence begins to take shape.

We were excited to welcome Mary Cabarle from Quantum, and Steve Liaci from National Seating & Mobility to Cheshire Home to collaborate with our outpatient wheelchair seating & mobility clinic, The Wheelhouse. These hands-on partnerships ensure each chair is thoughtfully designed, properly fitted, and truly supportive of the individual using it. When manufacturers, vendors, and therapists align around the person in the chair, the outcome is more than just mobility, it’s comfort, confidence, and greater quality of life. 💙♿️

❄️ After the storm, our dedicated Director of Plant Operations, Mike Davidson, was out early with the snow blower, clearing mountains of snow from the parking lot and carving safe paths for staff, residents, and visitors at Cheshire Home. ❄️

Because of Mike and his assistant Joe Marchesano’s hard work, residents could get to appointments, families could visit loved ones, and our community could keep moving forward safely. It’s the behind-the-scenes dedication like this that keeps everything running smoothly no matter what the weather brings.

We are so grateful to the team members who show up, dig in, and make sure our residents are always cared for.

Nutrition’s Role in Neuro Recovery: Fueling Strength After SCI or TBI

Recovery from spinal cord or traumatic brain injury requires more than therapy—nutrition plays a key role in healing, strength, and cognitive function. A balanced diet helps reduce inflammation, rebuild muscle, support brain health, and maintain energy for rehabilitation.

Key nutrients such as protein, omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and proper hydration aid tissue repair, immunity, and nerve function. When combined with physical and occupational therapy, proper nutrition can enhance recovery outcomes and long-term wellness.

At Cheshire Home, a holistic approach integrates rehabilitation with nutritional support, helping residents maximize strength, function, and overall neurological recovery.

From England to our community, a powerful vision took root.

Baron Leonard Cheshire, VC, ( September 1917 – July 1992), was a British Royal Air Force pilot, officer and philanthropist, who believed that people with physical disabilities deserved more than care, they deserved independence, opportunity, and a true place to call home. His groundbreaking approach to inclusive housing crossed the Atlantic and inspired the creation of Cheshire Home, which in 1981 became the first facility in the United States dedicated specifically to adults with physical disabilities.

Today, that vision is alive and thriving. For 45 years, Cheshire Home has continued to evolve, expanding programs, creating opportunities, and embracing new possibilities that support independence and meaningful living for individuals with spinal cord injuries and neurological impairments. Every day brings new energy, new ideas, and exciting progress driven by a community committed to inclusion, and forward movement.

Discover how you can be part of a place where inclusiveness and promoting independence is the foundation for everything we do. Visit www.cheshirehome.org for information on how you can get involved. 💙

💗 Staff Appreciation Day at Cheshire Home 💗
Love was in the air at Cheshire Home as we celebrated with the heart of our community, our incredible staff! 💐

Team members took a well-deserved break to create their own customized soaps, choosing their favorite scents and colors. The room was filled with laughter, creativity, and a little friendly competition over whose soap looked (and smelled!) the best. 🧼✨

Of course, no celebration would be complete without sweet treats! Our staff enjoyed a moment to relax, connect, and feel appreciated for the compassion and dedication they bring to our residents every single day.

We are so grateful for the care, kindness, and commitment our team shows year-round. Today was just a small way to say: we ❤️ you!

Cheshire Home residents and staff attended “The Legacy We Create,” a powerful Black History Month program presented by Atlantic Health and Morris Arts at the Bouras Auditorium at Overlook Medical Center. The afternoon brought the community together through musical performances, thoughtful reflections, and a visual art presentation that honored history while looking ahead.

In her closing remarks, Overlook Medical Center President, Stephanie Schwartz, pictured with Cheshire Home residents above, underscored the importance of honoring legacy, amplifying voices, and building a more inclusive future. Thank you for creating a meaningful and inspiring experience for all. ✨

As we closed out 2025, our community came together in an extraordinary way during our Driving Hope Forward year-end appeal. We are grateful to every person who helped make our appeal for a new bus such a huge success. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, supporters, and friends, you more than doubled our expectations, allowing us to purchase two brand-new buses and raise over $350,000!

We extend heartfelt thanks to the Margaret A. Darrin Charitable Trust and a donor who would like to be known as the “Silent Maid,” for their life-changing gifts of $150,000 each. Their generosity pushed us beyond our goal and made this achievement possible. This appeal was about far more than reaching a goal, it was about ensuring reliable access to medical appointments, employment, community engagement, and the everyday moments that matter most.

This addition gives our Transportation Department the ability to respond more efficiently to daily needs while ensuring that transportation is no longer a barrier to opportunity. From last-minute medical visits to spontaneous community connections, this van helps keep life moving forward.

This news sparked tremendous excitement throughout Cheshire Home! Our residents are looking forward to new opportunities, independence, and the adventures these buses will bring. Our new buses will arrive this Spring (stay tuned for more details for a welcome celebration!).

Thank you for believing in our mission, for supporting our residents, and for truly driving hope forward with us.
