COVID-19 Update
Phase 2 of the COVID vaccination timeline starts Monday, February 1st, and this is great news for many people- especially ABC clients! There are two vaccines being distributed at this time: Moderna & Pfizer-BioNTech.

Both vaccines require TWO immunizations so you will need to go TWICE (to the same location) to receive the vaccine before the series is complete!

Once you have received your first vaccination, you will receive an immunization card that will contain the name of the vaccine as well as the date and location where you received the vaccine. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you keep this immunization card somewhere safe as you will need to bring it with you when you go to get your second vaccination!
FOR ABC CLIENTS ONLY: Have you/has your loved one received your/their vaccine?
Yes, I am vaccinated
No, I am not vaccinated but WOULD LIKE TO BE
No, I am not vaccinated and AM NOT INTERESTED IN GETTING THE VACCINE
I am not sure about the vaccine. I want to learn more about it before deciding
Those who are 65 years of age or older will be eligible to receive the vaccine starting
Monday, February 1st!

February: The Month of Love
Celebrating Our Love for Our Seniors
Wishing all of our clients and their families a very happy Valentine's Day!

At ABC, we LOVE our seniors and are so thrilled that we get to help folks live safely & independently in their homes!
Feeling All the Feels

While Valentine's Day is a day to show love, it can also spark a feeling of sorrow and loneliness for those who have lost someone special to them- especially when already battling the "winter blues!"

Fight the feeling by doing one or all of the following:

  • Call a friend or family member
  • Meditate
  • Watch a favorite movie
  • Listen to upbeat music from your favorite band or artist
  • Do something artistic- paint, draw, color, sculpt, knit, sing, play an instrument etc.
  • Invest your energies in a hobby- such as cooking, baking, photography, reading
Made With Love

Treat yourself to a tasty treat this Valentine's Day that is super delicious and easy to make!

Here's what you will need:

  • 2 tsp room temperature water
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1.5 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
  • Half a cup of granulated sugar
  • 20 Oreos
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 6 oz white chocolate, finely chopped
  • Two 8 oz blocks of regular cream cheese
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
A Moment in Time: Reflecting on Historic Milestones

ABC Proudly Sponsors Mystic Valley Elder Services' Bellyful of Laughs UN-Event!
COVID prevented Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) from having their Annual Bellyful of Laughs Event in January...

However, it certainly didn't prevent organizations, like ABC, from making a positive financial impact to support much needed programs such as Meals on Wheels and senior transportation services (just to name a few)!
