💗 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.

💪 Michael’s Journey: From Injury to Entrepreneurship💙

Former resident, Michael, stopped by Cheshire Home to hand deliver his own brand of pickels named “The Crippled Pickle” and say hello to staff and residents. Michael came to Cheshire Home after a devastating car accident that left him with a spinal cord injury and paralyzed from the neck down. The road ahead was uncertain, but from the very beginning, Michael approached his recovery with strength, determination, and an unwavering will to reclaim his independence. “I will walk, and failure is not an option,” Michael said.

At Cheshire Home, Michael committed himself to intensive therapies, adaptive training, and vocational programs designed to build both skill, physical strength and independence. Through personalized rehabilitation, and support focused on life beyond recovery, he gained the tools and confidence to reimagine what was possible.

Michael walked out of Cheshire Home. Those who witnessed it will never forget the moment. After returning home, Michael turned a passion for gardening into an idea and started pickling vegetables. From there, “The Crippled Pickle,” small batch pickles in four different flavors, was created. Sold locally in Newtown Hardware Store in Newtown, Pa, and online, Michael stated that the venture has given him a purpose.

We are so thrilled to have been part of Michael’s journey and wish him the best of luck with “The Crippled Pickle.”

Before there was a facility, a program, or a 45-year legacy, there was a bold idea and a remarkable group of people willing to act on it.

When the original Cheshire Home Board formed in 1971, they were called the Friends of Cheshire Home, led by Executive Director Mrs. Kay Akers. The Board brought together three physicians, two professors, an attorney and architect, a nurse, a social worker, two physically disabled individuals, and dedicated community leaders. Different backgrounds with a shared purpose; creating a successful alternative to an institution or nursing home for individuals with disabilities. In 1981, that dream became a reality.

The Friends of Cheshire Home’s collective vision laid the foundation for everything that followed. As Cheshire Home marks its 45th anniversary, much has changed over the decades, from programs to technology to the scope of services offered. What has remained constant is the impact. More than 265 residents have been empowered to reclaim their maximum level of independence and continues to increase as residents leave Cheshire Home and reenter the community.

Celebrating 45 unstoppable years. For more information on Cheshire Home and the exciting things happening, visit www.cheshirehome.org
