Sally Lorch’s children gave her the flowers several years ago, and she kept them growing. Then she added more and more perennials, along with hanging baskets of blooms.

Every year, dozens of staff at Farmington Presbyterian Manor give to the Good Samaritan program through the annual Angel Appeal, which takes place during the holiday season.

The halls of the Manor are filled with Christmas spirit throughout December as staff, residents and visitors celebrate the season with gusto. Over the course of the past 55 years, Farmington Presbyterian Manor has developed some unique traditions to honor the season.

Lots of local residents joined our residents and staff members to reflect on our past and dream for our future.
