Residents at the Maine Veterans’ Home in Caribou recently began a new exercise program called Walk to Houlton.
When participating in this program, residents exercise at their leisure by ambulating around the quad. All walks are confirmed with a sticker, initialed by a staff member.
The first MVH resident to reach his goal of ‘walking to Houlton,’ was Robert Allen, who was treated to a visit to Tim Hortons where he enjoyed a muffin and coffee for his achievement. Allen has since reached his goal again and will have pick to which coffee shop he will visit for his second incentive.
Resident Norma Whitney has also reached her goal and is looking forward to her coffee shop visit.
