Third Rehab “Reunion” Held Recently at Ashlar of Newtown - 10/14/2008

Newtown, CT, October 15, 2008......In May of 2004, Ashlar of Newtown dedicated a new short-term rehabilitation program at the skilled nursing facility on Toddy Hill Road.  Since that time, scores of patients have benefited from the positive, encouraging environment and attentive medical and personal care they received from the outstanding professionals who staff the 32-bed rehab unit. 

To continue to celebrate the success of Ashlar of Newtown's rehabilitation program and give "graduates" the opportunity to reconnect with other patients and employees, all former and current patients and their families were invited to attend the third annual Rehab Reunion, held on the grounds at Ashlar of Newtown on a beautiful day in September.  The luau-themed event encouraged invitees to "bring the whole family" and featured a cotton candy machine, blowup jumper for the children, a face painter, clown, and a DJ to provide some great music.

According to Joel S. Feigenson, MD, Medical Director for Rehabilitation Services at Ashlar of Newtown, patients and staff really enjoyed the camaraderie and the sharing of "success" stories by many of the patients. "It was wonderful to see our former patients and hear how they've be doing since "graduating" from the program.  We are very pleased with the great response and the positive comments received from all who attended."
