Lexington Care Facility Brings Joy To Residents With Wish Program

LEXINGTON, MA — a Lexington long-term care facility is bringing some joy to residents amid the pandemic.

CareOne's "Make a Difference" campaign celebrates hundreds of long-term care residents during November by fulfilling their wishes that have been otherwise difficult to enjoy amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

CareOne at Lexington recently kicked off the event with a celebration of residents living at the center. CareOne’s “Make a Difference” program is based on the work of “Three Wishes for Ruby’s Residents,” a charity created by 12-year-old Ruby Chitsey. The non-profit organization, which seeks to make a difference for nursing home residents by providing small items that make a difference in the lives of elders that they may otherwise go without, selected CareOne as its partner for the campaign.

In partnership with the Loukoumi Foundation, an organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of children, Three Wishes sponsored “Make a Difference Day” in 11 cities across the United States (on Saturday, October 24th), including CareOne at Lexington.

CareOne at Lexington is a 211-bed rehabilitation and long-term facility that is part of a national Health Care Management company comprised of leading clinical and operations professionals with extensive experience in Post-Acute Rehabilitation and Long-Term Living services.
