Hoffman SummerWood Community residents and staff carried on their annual tradition of saying “Thank You” in a tasty way to their local fire department, police department, and ambulance service recently. Clad with balloons and cards, residents and staff cheered as they delivered lunch to these men and women as a gesture of appreciation for the services they receive throughout the year. The US mail, UPS and pharmacy delivery personnel were surprised with the same treats when they stopped by SummerWood to perform their regular duties.

Hoffman SummerWood Community is a senior living community located on Simsbury Road in West Hartford, and is an affiliate of Hebrew Health Care.
