🎨✨ Sundays are for creativity at Cheshire Home! Each weekend, residents are offered an opportunity to participate in a craft, and their latest creation was watercolors. 💙💚 The results were as beautiful as the artists themselves full of personality, color, and joy.

Art gives residents a chance to express emotions and explore independence through creativity. Cheshire Home is here to help.

Cheshire Home residents set sail on The Impossible Dream, a 60-foot wheelchair-accessible catamaran designed so everyone can experience the freedom of being out on the open water. Facing no barriers, they boarded the catamaran and set sail feeling the wind and sun on their faces. It was wonderful to “sea” our residents having so much fun!

We are so thankful to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation for sponsoring the adventure! “We think this could be an unforgettable experience,” the Reeve Foundation’s Director of Quality of Life Grants, Dan McNeal, said and he was right!

What was accomplished:
✅ Fun day in the community
✅ Confidence boost
✅ SCI awareness raised

Our Recreation and Transportation Departments helped organize the outing and transported the residents. Experiences like this boost mental health, build confidence, and increase independence. That is what Cheshire Home is all about. 💚 www.cheshirehome.org 💚

✨ We never miss a beat at Cheshire Home! ✨

One of our residents used the Rise&Walk to challenge her dynamic standing balance, a critical skill to reach her goal of safely showering while standing up once again!

And that’s not all! Secured with a harness for support, she confidently pushed her limits and reconnected with something she loves…salsa dancing! 🎶 Watching determination turn into dance moves is awesome! 💙

Occupational therapy keeps independence and life participation at the center of rehab, helping residents reach the goals that are important to THEM!

Building Independence Through Rehabilitation

At Cheshire Home, innovation and care go hand in hand. Our Rise&Walk machine helps residents take steps toward greater mobility and strength. At Cheshire Home, innovation and care go hand in hand. Our Rise&Walk machine helps residents take steps toward greater mobility and strength. When a resident is able to take their first steps after a spinal cord injury, it feels like a reward to our rehabilitation team. Thanks to a grant from Impact 100 Garden State funding the Rise&Walk, more residents are getting out of their wheelchairs and experiencing the joy of putting one foot in front of the other again.

From smart wheelchairs to robotic mobility devices, technology is opening doors to independence. Cheshire Home is proud to embrace innovation that empowers residents to live more independently.
At Cheshire Home, independence begins with strength. Through individualized physical and occupational therapy, residents build stamina, coordination, and functional mobility. Every step, every stretch, every exercise brings residents closer to greater independence.
