FEMA officials are currently in neighborhoods going door to door in an effort answer questions and to assist anyone that was affected by the flooding of the storms in December and January. I want to assure you that this is completely legitimate. These representatives have IDs. Several residents have called the police. There is no need to be alarmed.

From the Boston Globe’s Salute to Nurses

Warwick Pilgrim Senior Center

Sherry Rose, Warwick Pilgrim Senior Center, City of Warwick Division of Senior Services

Sherry is the kindest and most compassionate nurse. She has been so caring to my brother-in-law, who is challenged. She goes out of her way to meet his medical needs. She alerts me when there is an issue and makes excellent recommendations. Thanks to Sherry, we got Timmie a physical therapy evaluation, which has helped him immensely. She is such a blessing to the senior center. We are extremely grateful for her excellent nursing skills and, most of all, her dedication and kindness! She gives her all.
