Everyone loves holiday cookies and when you add cocktails to that, how can you miss? That was the concept behind Cookie and Cocktails, a fundraiser created by Waterstone on High Ridge and Osborne Homecare to raise funds for the Stamford Senior Center, which is in need of exercise equipment for its seniors said Jeanie Ricci, senior advisor at Waterstone. She added, “We thought this would be a good way to create holiday cheer while raising money for a good cause.’’

Laurie Pensiero of Osborne Home Health baked 6,700 cookies in her own oven at home for the event. The evening also featured a live jazz performance. Located at 215 High Ridge Road on a beautiful campus next to a conservation area, Waterstone on High Ridge is an elegant hotel-style community for seniors 62+ offering independent living, assisted living and memory care with a full array of best-in-class amenities and services.

It is the latest best-in-class independent senior living community created by leaders in the field – EPOCH Senior Living is the owner/operator and National Development is the owner/developer.
