Staff members took a meaningful pause from the busyness of the day to gather for Tea for the Soul with Chaplains Sarah Malzone and Cantor Elise Barber. In the spirit of Passover and its themes of freedom and renewal, the afternoon offered a quiet moment to reflect, connect with colleagues, and recharge.

Over warm cups of tea and thoughtful conversation, staff enjoyed a peaceful break focused on wellness, community, and spiritual connection. Thank you to our Spiritual Life Team for creating such a calming and uplifting experience for everyone who attended.

JGS Lifecare was proud to participate in the Senior Care Alliance event through the East of the River Chamber at the Pleasant View Senior Center in East Longmeadow.

It was a wonderful opportunity to connect with community members, share helpful information, and provide guidance on next steps when planning for senior care needs. We are always honored to serve as a trusted resource for individuals and families navigating important decisions.

A few days later Pleasant View Senior Center held a festive St. Patrick’s Day performance by a lively Irish duo, proudly sponsored by JGS Lifecare, bringing music, smiles, and a bit of Irish cheer to everyone in attendance.

We were thrilled to welcome Nico Montoya, a senior at Longmeadow High School and winner of the Design-an-Ad contest, to Ruth’s House Assisted Living!

Earlier in the process, Andrea Bates, Director of Marketing, visited Nico’s class to share more about Ruth’s House and provide inspiration for the project. It was wonderful to see that vision come to life through Nico’s creative work.

Nico joined us with his parents, two sisters, and his art teacher, Mariel Gross. Residents enjoyed the opportunity to meet him, ask questions, and hear about the inspiration behind his design.

It was a special and engaging experience for everyone — and a great example of community connection and creativity in action!

This beautiful amaryllis was lovingly grown by Ruth’s House Assisted Living’s very own Susan Higgins! 🌺

Amaryllis thrive in bright light and need regular watering, especially while in bloom — and Susan clearly has the perfect touch.
Thank you, Susan, for bringing a little extra beauty and brightness to our community.
