Meet Blaise Bookis, a Health Center resident at Pomperaug Woods, and his daughter, Mary Louise Bond. Blaise is 89 years old and a self-proclaimed homebody. “The only way I could get Dad to agree to downsize was to remind him that he was doing it for Mom,” shared Mary Louise. “While he ...initially moved to Pomperaug Woods for her health needs, he was the one who ultimately benefited from the full spectrum of care available here. Living at Pomperaug Woods has truly been a blessing for him.”
