🕷️ Spider-Man swinging by to save the day
🧑‍🚀 A space explorer ready to blast off to the moon
💀 A grim reaper giving everyone “spirit” chills
🐔 A cheerful chicken clucking up some laughs

🌿Memory Lane Monday: Honoring Our Heritage 🌿

At Wardwell, we love taking a stroll down Memory Lane to celebrate the meaningful milestones that shaped who we are today. This Memory Lane Monday brings us to the heart of our history and the extraordinary generosity that started it all.

In 1878, a group of caring volunteers in S**o and Biddeford came together to create a home for aging women in need. Just a few years later, Mrs. Lydia Wardwell Clapp made an extraordinary gift, donating a cottage in 1881 in memory of her father, Eliakim Wardwell. Her generosity, along with tireless fundraising by volunteers and local churches, helped open a larger home in 1889, expanding compassionate care for seniors in our community.

📷 Pictured here: one of our residents and a staff member proudly holding a photo of Mrs. Lydia Wardwell Clapp, whose kindness and vision helped create a lasting home for generations to come.

From a humble cottage to a thriving nonprofit community of 99 units across 10 buildings, Wardwell has carried this mission forward for more than 145 years, providing affordable, high quality care with heart.

💙 Today, we continue to honor Mrs. Clapp’s legacy by ensuring that every resident feels at home with warmth, compassion, and community.
