Staff Photo/Paul Franz Published: 7/21/2021 3:21:10 PM My intention in writing this My Turn had been to reflect on Farren Care Center, where I had the pleasure of working for over 20 years. First, I want to pay honor to the memory of Rhonda Thompson who was recently killed by a hit-and-run driver in Shelburne Falls where she lived while on her morning walk. Rhonda epitomizes why Farren lived by its motto “Farren Cares.” I worked with Rhonda throughout my time at FCC and watched her develop her skills as she went from a medication nurse through many job responsibilities; when she closed Farren just several weeks ago, she was the Director of Nurses. She really showed her strengths in that position as she was a major force in Farren, being one of about 1% of nursing homes that never had COVID —quite a feat.
