Passages Facility Improvements Completed
The new railings were delivered and installed this week marking the completion of the Pasages Facility Improvment Project that was begun last Spring. The bathrooms and the front walkway are now better than new.
Free Flu Shots for Somerset Home Employees
On Wednesday, October 21st, between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM at Passages we will once again be offering free flu shots for all Somerset Home employees.
Family members may also get flu shots for our cost of $25 (make checks payable to Somerset Home). Please let your supervisor know so we can get a rough count of how many to expect. Please try to come as close to 5:00 PM as possible.
Staff News
I would like to extend congratulations to Marshall Christie on his marriage last week. We wish him the very best!
As always, thank you all for your continued hard work on behalf of our youth.
