Wake Robin

Wake Robin is a vibrant non-profit Life Plan community located on 136 acres just south of Burlington in Shelburne, Vermont.

Reuse, recycle, and repurpose everyday items to give them new life as something even more beautiful. Wake Robin’s resident library cat is decked out for Earth Month. The hat is a recycled burlap bag, paper flower cutouts, surrounded by repurposed wooden spools with cheerful flowers, leaves, and stems shaped from outdated calendars. In the hallway outside the art studio, resident work is displayed celebrating nature and the return of Spring. What a beautiful way to bring attention to Earth Month (and the talented residents who live at Wake Robin!)

Wake Robin’s chapter of SSAFE (Senior Stewards Acting for the Environment) has been organizing activities to celebrate Earth Month all throughout April. The “Repair Fair” was created in an effort to fix items that otherwise might be thrown away. Residents were encouraged to bring broken chairs, lamps, whatever has been sitting broken at home. Thankfully, there were plenty of fixers ready to help. What are you doing to celebrate Earth Month?

Yesterday was the March for Meals fashion show benefitting Age Well, Vermont’s largest Meals on Wheels provider. Wake Robin was one of the sponsors with members of the Wake Robin Board, President & CEO, Meagan Buckley, and Director of Marketing, Kim Anderson, attending. The Meals on Wheels program serves over 318,000 meals each year to older Vermonters, and we were happy to support their efforts.

Happy Long Term Care Administrators’ Week! To become a licensed home administrator, 1,000 hours of on-the-job training and two exams are required. Gretchen Roberge, who has worked at Wake Robin since 2019, passed both exams in January and is now the Assistant Administrator of our Linden Health Center. We’re also lucky to include our CEO, Meagan Buckley, and Heather Filonow, Director of Health & Resident Services, as two more Licensed Home Administrators. The amount of work and dedication that goes into this licensing is incredible. We appreciate all that they do this week and every week at Wake Robin!

Inquire’s Winter/Spring semester is about to start. Inquire is Wake Robin’s lifelong learning program with offerings for classes, day trips, and film series.

Staff members took a break from their daily duties to drop in on some visitors from Therapy Dogs of Vermont . These furry friends were invited as a part of CORE (Wake Robin’s employee wellness initiative) so that folks could relish in some canine affection while enjoying snacks made by Wake Robin’s talented pastry chef. Not a bad way to decompress on a chilly winter day!

The train has officially left the station – until next year at least. The resident-run train committee puts in a significant amount of work collecting, crafting, and testing electrical components to create the magic of the holiday train. Every year, there is something new added to the set up and it’s evolved into a tradition that’s adored amongst all generations in the Wake Robin community.

From all of us at Wake Robin, Happy New Year and best wishes for the year ahead.
