On Wednesday Laura Ullman from WCAX came to visit us at the residential care home we have recently purchased in East Middlebury. She has a keen interest in housing, particularly for the elderly, and we loved having the opportunity to show here all the progress that has been made by Salamander Construction and a group of excellent local subs.

We have never been so excited about new radiators in our entire lives! Work continues at the care home we have recently purchased in East Middlebury.
When the renovations are complete, it will house up to eight medically frail community members.
Right now we are completing improvements that will ensure the safety and comfort of our residents. The new radiators are a great example of this…..they are more energy efficient and safer than the old style.
We are so fortunate to have the privilege of working with wonderful local contractors including Salamander Construction and Champlain Valley Plumbing and Heating. The work is coming along quickly!

Will you join us in doing our part to help with the housing crisis in Addison County? To read about this project and make a secure donation, please visit achhh.org.

Check out the article about our latest adventure in this week’s Addison Independent. ACHHH has recently purchased a 2,963 square foot five bedroom home in East Middlebury. After Salamander Construction helps us with thoughtful renovations, this will become a level three care home for up to eight community members.

Our residents will live in a home-like setting, with 24-hour staffing, where they will receive nursing oversight, three nutritious meals each day and snacks, medication management, assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), laundry services and opportunities for socialization and engagement. We recognize that we cannot fix the housing crisis, but we are committed to doing our part to help the most vulnerable segment of our population. Stay tuned for details and please consider supporting joining us in this work.

The flu is running rampant through our community this year. We are being asked on a daily basis how community members can avoid getting the flu, or lessening its severity.
It is not too late to get a flu shot! Here Michele Christopher, RN gives Kristen Wilson, our HR Director the flu vaccine. Other suggestions include washing hands frequently with soap and water and wearing a mask when congregating with others.
We hope that you stay healthy this winter!

We are so fortunate to have wonderful people in this community who drop everything to help us out when we need them.
This morning we had water line adventure at our building in New Haven with water coming out of parts of the building we did not know even existed.
One of the great guys from Dundon’s Plumbing showed Herculean strength holding a pipe together for literally an hour!
Jason Larocque came right over, calmed everyone down and made sure that all is well.
We hope that Santa is REALLY GOOD to these great guys.
Happy holidays to all!

We are winding down our community flu clinics next week. We have had so much fun traveling around and yesterday we stopped at Two Brothers and helped some of the wonderful employees there receive their flu shots. Holmes Jacobs and his staff greeted us so warmly and we even discussed inviting employees from other restaurants in town to join in at a clinic next year!

Last call for free flu shots is Tuesday November 18 7:30-9am at our headquarters at 254 Ethan Allen Highway in New Haven. Just stop in….no proof of insurance or payment is required. Providing these vaccines is our gift to our community and we hope it helps people stay well this winter.
