It’s been a while since we checked in with our community living folks, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t been busy. Intrada has been bustling with activity! From participating in this year’s election, learning about preparing healthy meals, and meeting horse jockeys, it has been a fun-filled season for the individuals at Intrada! Let’s see what they’ve been up to:
Michael, a big horse racing fan, looks forward to Saratoga Race Track season every year and always grabs a season pass. Recently, while picking up his favorite Dunkin treat, he had an unforgettable encounter – he met his all-time favorite jockeys, the famous brothers Irad and Jose Ortiz from the New York racing circuit.
The individuals at Intrada recently enjoyed a visit from Judy Carr, a nutritionist from Saratoga Hospital, who stopped by to discuss healthy eating and meal preparation. Judy answered questions about nutritious foods and shared tips for making healthier choices. She plans to return after the holidays to continue supporting them on their journey to healthier eating.
Recently, Lynda and Emily were thrilled to vote, accompanied by their community habilitation staff member, Michelle. They chose to participate in early voting and eagerly went to their polling place to cast their ballots. Before the election, the staff at Intrada helped residents check their voter registration to ensure they were ready. As early voting began community habilitation staff assisted anyone interested in voting, helping them to find their polling place and accompanying them as needed. Thanks to the support from staff, individuals living at Intrada were able to exercise their right to vote both during early voting and on Election Day.
