Meet Sally Bourgault, our spotlighted Independent Living resident at Pomperaug Woods!
When Sally moved in, she didn’t know a soul—but that quickly changed. “I started small with the book club and Current Events sessions, where I could just listen without pressure,” she shared. ...“Then I began taking exercise classes with Megan, who’s so inspiring. I even joined the Pomperaug Players theater group—something I’ve never done before—and now I’m in small parts and loving it!”
Today, Sally enjoys concerts, lectures, Rummikub, and, as she says, “The food is so good, I’ve gained 10 pounds!”
“I love my apartment. I love the activities. I’m genuinely happy—and that’s something not everyone finds in their 90s. How lucky am I?” 💙
