Southgate Residents Enjoy Presentation by Board Member Cathy Flanagan

December 22, 2022 by Southgate

In November, our Residents and staff enjoyed a slide show presentation and lecture given by Board member Cathy Flanagan. Mrs. Flanagan provided a comprehensive history of our Southgate community, along with heartwarming stories about Southgate’s founder, Donald F. Flanagan. Residents were given the opportunity to ask questions about the building construction, and the concept behind our Continuum Care Retirement Community. The event was well attended and enjoyed by both Residents and staff.

Southgate Residents Hold Activities Fair

August 3, 2022 by Southgate

The Southgate Welcome Committee recently sponsored an Activities Fair to showcase activities that are organized by residents. Representatives of 28 different committees and programs were on hand to tell new residents about interesting things to do at Southgate. Long-time residents also dropped by to check out activities in which they had not previously participated.

Members of the Southgate Residents’ Council, who are elected by their fellow residents, were at the Activities Fair to discuss the Council’s role in the community. Chairs of Council committees –welcome, dining, program, technology and building & grounds—had their own information tables.

Other activities on display ranged from Mahjong to book groups, the library, the current events forum, religious studies, breakfast programs, storytelling, crafts, gardening, and the Bargain Box thrift store.

Southgate & CVS Vaccinate Residents Successfully

March 5, 2021 by Southgate

After several weeks of preplanning, Southgate at Shrewsbury and CVS Pharmacy orchestrated six successful vaccine clinics to deliver the COVID-19 vaccine safely and efficiently to their residents and staff.


CVS & Southgate Teams. Featured in this Photo are Kate Aleksiewicz, Lead Pharmacist and members of her CVS pharmacy staff, Southgate employees Sheila Meucci, Health & Wellness Director; Kara Ewick, Resident Services Director; Deborah Bourque, Resident Liaison; Rogerio Neves, Housekeeping Director; William Zangarine, Hampton Suites Director.


Southgate at Shrewsbury management organized the clinic to ensure that social distancing protocols were followed and that common surfaces were sanitized between each appointment. Many Southgate staff volunteered to assist in setting up and running separate pre-registration areas for temperature screening, a quiet area where staff could assist residents with paperwork, a CVS registration table, and four screened-off areas for vaccination and observation.

Not even a challenge from an impressive Nor’easter storm could halt the efforts of Southgate and CVS to safely vaccinate residents and staff. To ensure delivery of the second vaccine, Southgate provided their guest apartment with dining accommodations to CVS pharmacists, who stayed overnight to ensure the clinic could be held the day following the storm.

In a letter to Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker, Southgate CEO Dana Levenson wrote, “We could not have higher praise for the folks from CVS. Our residents and employees have been thanking us for the vaccinations, but it truly should be us thanking you and CVS.”

Of the team at Southgate at Shrewsbury, Executive Vice President Patricia A. LaCross provided the following comment:

“Our Southgate staff have been very present during the last 11 months of COVID, stepping up to guard the stations at our entrances to screen guests 24 hours a day, providing services safely to the best of their ability, and working the day-long vaccine clinics to assure that operations ran smoothly, so there were no missed opportunities to vaccinate our Residents. We have a real committed staff, and I honestly couldn’t be prouder of our team. I call them Southgate Warriors!”


Last Clinic Day: Bill Zangarine and Kara Ewick presented several gift baskets to the CVS Pharmacy Team in thanks for their extraordinary effort to vaccine our entire Southgate Community.

Southgate Hosts its Annual Resident Art Exhibit

August 12, 2020 by Southgate

The artistic talent that abounds within the community of Southgate at Shrewsbury was especially evident this past week at the annual Resident Art Exhibit. Program Director Deanna Swan takes the lead in planning and organizing this highly anticipated event each year.

While there are always opportunities for residents to explore their artistic sides, such as by taking advantage of the painting classes or woodworking studio at Southgate, there’s no better time of year than the annual Art Exhibit for them to showcase their artwork and share their passion for art with the community.

During the Art Exhibit, residents and staff were treated to a range of artworks in different media and with a variety of unique styles. Everything from wood carvings and embroidery to paintings, drawings and photography were on display.
