At the May 9th Township Committee Meeting, Mayor Suraci and the Township Committee declared the week of May 14 to 20, 2017, as National Nursing Home Week, a week to honor both our vulnerable citizens who receive care and the dedicated ones giving care.

Skilled nursing care centers throughout our area are holding events in observance of National Nursing Home Week, May 14 to 20, 2017, using this year's theme of "The Spirit of America,".

Hillsborough Township is committed to quality health care, and eager to promote the theme "The Spirit of America." The Mayor urged all citizens to visit a loved one, family member or friend residing in any care setting and offer a kind word, a personal touch, and spend time participating in various activities to unite those from all walks of life in need of our continuing love and support.

The Adult Day Center of Somerset County, a nonprofit agency committed to providing high quality, affordable day care services for disabled and elderly residents and support for care-giving families, is celebrating its 40th Anniversary.  

The center originally opened in 1976 in a Bound Brook church basement and has since been relocated to Bridgewater.  The ADC serves all of Somerset County, providing therapeutic activities, daily exercise programs, nursing and personal care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, consultant pharmacy, entertainment and outings. The ADC has also supported thousands of caregivers during their caregiving journey and selfless mission of helping their loved one age in place.

On May 9th, Mayor Carl Suraci and the Township Committee presented the ADC with a proclamation, recognizing the need to raise awareness of this valuable organization to the residents of Hillsborough.

At their meeting on April 30th, 8th grade Girl Scout Troop 60320 was paid a visit by  guest speaker  Deputy Mayor Gloria McCauley.  

The Deputy Mayor discussed  women in leadership roles and the importance of public speaking with the Girl Scouts who are working to earn their Public Speaking Badge.

The meeting was led by troop member  Heather Suraci, introduced the girls to  the PREP format, and addressed different techniques for impromptu speaking, classroom presentations and talking to adults. Each girl then did a 1-2 minute speech about what they are looking forward to most or afraid of most about going into high school. The activities helped the girls to become more comfortable with public speaking.  Girl Scout Troop 60320 is led by Stacey Skala and Jessica Zendt.
