Woodlake Wishes

Wishes do come true at Woodlake

Woodlake at Tolland offers a program called "Woodlake Wishes" to grant wishes to its residents. Donations from the community help fund the wishes, which can be submitted by all Woodlake residents or their families on their behalf.

Residents' wishes are granted one at a time and are chosen based on a variety of factors. Some wishes are simple and easy to provide, while others may be more complex, requiring additional funding, resources, and coordination. Medical and personal factors are considered. All wishes are important and are considered for granting.

Woodlake residents and their families may submit wishes in writing or may speak to a nurse or someone on staff. While it might not be possible to grant all wishes, the goal is to brighten the lives of Woodlake residents and let them know that the people in the community care about them.

Community residents and businesses can help in two ways:

• Woodlake gratefully looks to individuals, businesses, and residents' families to help fund wishes. Donations in any amount are welcome.
• Individuals can volunteer to help make residents' dreams come true. By contributing just a few hours, a person can make a real difference in someone's life.
