Bristol Bites is a sweet little book of recipes by and for the residents of the Bristol building at Covenant Living at Windsor Park. The great idea is Dorothy's -- the Bristol resident most likely to plan a get together! She asked others to submit recipes, had her son print and bind them, and passed them out to Bristol residents last week. What perfect timing with the holidays coming up!Timeline Photos

Resident Spotlight: Meet Carol! Carol is one of the most active and amazing residents we have at Windsor Park! She moved here 12 years ago for “friends, food, and fellowship.” That’s her way of saying she got tired of eating TV dinners and watching Wheel of Fortune. Carol loves to have dinner and stimulating conversations with friends, go on Windsor Park bus trips to places she wouldn’t go alone, and attend lectures, concerts, and programs right here on campus. Carol spends her time with great purpose: she serves on the Resident Council for the Bristol Building, leads a book discussion group, sits on the Dining Committee, volunteers to assist at campus events such as our COVID vaccination days, organizes residents for her church bus on Sunday mornings, and when it is allowed, she will resume going with Windsor residents to cook dinner for families staying at the CDH Ronald McDonald House. If there is anything happening on this campus, she is there to participate, like the Senior Olympics where Carol won two gold medals and one silver. Carol graduated from Wheaton College in 1951 with a degree in Botany, and taught Science and U.S. History for 32 years at Franklin Middle School. When she retired from teaching full time, she began filling in as a substitute teacher at Monroe Middle School where her daughter taught Science until she retired this year. Now Carol only subs for teacher aides. She loves to travel, especially to visit her daughter, grandsons, and great-grands in Washington and Montana. Carol loves to read, walk, hike, attend concerts and plays, and crafts. She volunteers at the Morton Arboretum Herbarium every week. Carol says living at Windsor Park has freed her from housekeeping and yardwork which allows her more time to work and volunteer and participate in interests old and new. She treasures living here and having fellowship with friends of like values. Carol, you are an inspiration, and we are blessed to have you here!

Employee Spotlight: Meet Carlos Herrera de La Fuente! He began as our Assistant Director of Facilities Management in late August, and he is already making a positive impact on our campus. Having worked in several other senior living communities, he knew what the job would entail, and he embraces the Covenant Living value of putting residents first. He has been particularly pleased with the great Facilities Management Team at Windsor Park and is grateful for the positive attitudes of our employees. His day starts with two “stand up” meetings with maintenance team members, giving them assignments for the day. Then he focuses on taking care of outstanding work orders, projects, and responding to residents’ needs. He says he hasn’t had a boring day here yet! Each day brings new challenges, which he welcomes so he can share that knowledge with his team and the residents. Carlos came to the United States 35 years ago from Bolivia, South America. His father was professional soccer player and also a member of the Bolivian Police. His mother left her nursing career at a military hospital to devote her time to raising her three sons. His first job in the United States was as a dishwasher at a nursing home. Since then, Carlos has worked in a variety of different jobs in the senior living industry, and he also earned a degree in Business Management. Carlos is married and has two adult children and three grandchildren.
