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

Director of Development, Kim Eskin, welcomed Tim Ripley and Tony Fitzgerald, both passionate advocates for adaptive sports, to Cheshire Home!

During their visit they learned more about our mission and encouraged residents to get involved in their adaptive softball league. The highlight of the day? Tony surprised our residents with authentic team jerseys for those who participated in the league over the summer. It was an unforgettable day that meant so much to everyone involved.

Thank you, Tim and Tony, for inspiring our community, expanding opportunities for inclusion, and reminding us how powerful adaptive sports can be. ⚾💙We look forward to the spring when the residents can get back on the field!
