Caregivers care. Nonotuck honors caregivers as part of National Caregivers Month

AUBURN, MA AND FLORENCE, MA…

For more than 40 years Nonotuck Resource Associates has helped transform the lives of hundreds of people with intellectual and physical disabilities by offering the personalized service of shared living and Adult Family Care. As part of National Caregivers Month in November, Nonotuck honored 40 of its caregivers in the greater Worcester area with a celebratory dinner at its Auburn offices at 4 Faith Avenue on November 20.

At the dinner, each Nonotuck caregiver was presented with a congratulatory thank you card from Nonotuck Board of Directors, the CEO and all Nonotuck staff written in every language of this diverse group of Nonotuck caregivers. These care givers reside in Central Mass, principally in the greater Worcester area and they were all honored equally for their commitment, love and service. In addition, Nonotuck made a $500 donation each to four food bank organizations that cover western Mass, north central Mass, the Worcester Area, and the southeastern/Cape area of Mass on behalf of these Nonotuck Caregivers.

“Our caregivers do more than open up their homes to care for people from all walks of life. They literally share their lives with the people we serve. In many cases, they become like family,” said George Fleischner, CEO of Nonotuck Resource Associates, Inc. “We cannot thank our caregivers enough for all they do. They are the backbone of our organization.”

According to the Caregiver Action Network website, there are as many as 90 million family caregivers in U.S. today. That means that two out of every five adults—or 39 percent–are family caregivers.  That’s an increase from 30 percent back in 2010. In recognition of the role caregivers play, the Obama administration declared November 2013 as National Caregivers Month.

“The sad reality is that not every family is able to care for their elderly or disabled family member,” said Fleischner. When the family is unable to be the caregiver, Nonotuck will find an out of family home to provide care to the person in a dignified and loving way. “You just can’t put a dollar value on the critical role Nonotuck caregivers play in the lives of so many people across Massachusetts.”

Based in Florence, Massachusetts but with offices across the Commonwealth, Nonotuck offers Shared Living and Adult Family Care for families who choose to care for their loved ones who have Alzheimer’s, autism, brain injuries, cancer, muscular dystrophy and other intellectual and physical disabilities at home.

Nonotuck Resource Associates, Inc. honors Erving resident Ruth Johnson for years of service

FLORENCE, MA…

For more than 40 years Nonotuck Resource Associates has helped transform the lives of hundreds of people with intellectual and physical disabilities by offering the personalized service of shared living and Adult Family Care. Erving resident Ruth Johnson was an integral part of that transformation. For her dedication and commitment, Nonotuck recently honored Ms. Johnson at a recognition ceremony on September 30.

“Ruth helped drive Nonotuck’s mission, which was to shift people’s thinking of putting family and loved ones in community residences (commonly referred to as “group homes”) and find opportunities for people to live with other individuals, couples or families in typical homes,” said George Fleischner, executive director of Nonotuck Resource Associates, Inc. “Her part in this mission helped so many people who might otherwise have been institutionalized enjoy the typical life experiences many of us take for granted every day—like friendships, meaningful connections, intimacy and the kinds of relationships that grow and strengthen over time and through shared experiences.”

Ms. Johnson started with Nonotuck in 1988 after having worked in the human services field for nearly 20 years. At Nonotuck, she worked primarily as a Program Director until she became a caregiver herself in 1993, helping two women transition out of the Monson Developmental Center. Ms. Johnson’s relationship with these women lasted many, many years and became the foundation for her direct support to many other individuals in need over the years, lasting through the summer of 2011 until health challenges made it difficult for her to continue.

Over the years, Ms. Johnson created an incredible legacy of love, supporting many individuals with her husband Art in their various homes as they moved throughout Franklin County.  Over time, many of her family members, friends, co-workers and neighbors learned of her shared mission and became involved in supporting individuals themselves: sometimes through providing respite to Ms. Johnson or other caregivers.  Or sometimes by becoming caregivers themselves.

Added Fleischner, “Ruth took and still does take great joy in helping others but her most important contribution may have been passing the gift of giving on to her friends and family who became caregivers, helping them learn along the way of the emotional intimacy, strength and love that can grow from a lasting and well supported connection with another.”

As part of the recognition ceremony for her devotion to Nonotuck’s efforts, Ms. Johnson received a silver Pandora bracelet with various charms representing specific people she and Art shared their homes and lives with.  She also was presented with a plaque with a fitting quote from author Lewis Carroll:  “One of the deepest secrets of life is that all that is really worth doing is what we do for others”, a sentiment that truly reflects what Ms. Johnson captured in her own life and heart and gladly shared with others through Nonotuck for so many decades.

Based in Florence, Massachusetts but with offices across Massachusetts, Nonotuck offers Shared Living, Adult Family Care and Day Services for families who choose to care for their loved ones suffering with Alzheimer’s, autism, brain injuries, cancer, muscular dystrophy and other intellectual and physical disabilities at home.

For more than 40 years Nonotuck Resource Associates has helped transform the lives of hundreds of people with intellectual and physical disabilities by offering the personalized service of shared living and Adult Family Care. To best serve families on Cape Cod and to meet the ever increasing demand for its services, Nonotuck has opened a new satellite office at 209 Main Street, Suite 1, Hyannis, MA.

“We have worked with a number of families on the Cape through our South Shore office, which was in Brockton and is now in Kingston. As more and more families are faced with the need to care for an elderly or afflicted family member, the need for a permanent presence on the Cape became quite apparent,” said George Fleischner, executive director of Florence, Mass.-based Nonotuck Resource Associates, Inc. “Our brand new Hyannis office has an office manager and will be staffed with registered nurses and adult family care (AFC) providers to begin providing care immediately to Cape families.”

Nonotuck’s Hyannis office will be managed by Tom Maloney, RN. Maloney began working at Nonotuck over the summer at the South Shore office. His experience as an RN extends more than 25 years, working with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Shriver Center in Waltham, the Perkins School for the Blind in Watertown, MA and L.A.D.D.E.R.S. in Cambridge, MA. Currently, a South Easton resident, he was recognized in 2010 as an ARC Distinguished Citizen for work with families and autism.

“With a permanent office on the Cape, we have the resources to help families provide the care their loved one needs while keeping them at home with their family,” said Maloney. “I look forward to spreading the word about Nonotuck to Cape families and healthcare providers so more families can utilize our services.”

Nonotuck offers Shared Living, Adult Family Care and Day Services for families who choose to care for their loved ones suffering with Alzheimer’s, autism, brain injuries, cancer, muscular dystrophy and other intellectual and physical disabilities at home.
