Senior patients at Apple Rehab in Guilford sported beaded necklaces and flowery blouses at a fashion show with a theme of “cultivating kindness.” The clothes and jewelry were personally selected from inventory at the Hole in the Wall consignment and thrift shop that supports the Guilford ABC program, by Patty Sullivan, supervising manager.
Smiling from wheelchairs, the ladies showed off their finery during the event that took place during National Nursing Home Week in May. Lori Spadory, activities director for the rehabilitation center, was inspired to create the fashion show during her visit to the shop.
“The ladies are still talking about it! It was wonderful for their self-esteem,” Lori said.
Apple Rehab is located at 10 Boston Post Road in Guilford. t
