SPOTLIGHT ON STAFF: CLARENCE MCDOWELL A DEDICATED DSP AT LAVENDER FIELD APARTMENTS Clarence McDowell has been a cornerstone of the Lavender Field Apartments team since it opened 2.5 years ago. As a part-time second-shift Direct Support Professional (DSP), Clarence’s passion for his work shines through in his interactions with both residents and staff. “I love working here,” he shares. “I like the staff and absolutely love the residents.” One resident, Charlie, eagerly waits for Clarence outside the building each week when his shift starts. “He knows my schedule!” Clarence laughs. A typical Monday for Clarence includes taking residents to pottery class at the JCC, followed by a grocery shopping trip. On weekends, you can often find him taking a group out for breakfast at Dunkin’ Donuts or the International House of Pancakes—special outings that bring joy to everyone involved. During the week, Clarence works full-time as a local truck driver for Maine Oxy in South Windsor, delivering gases, a role he’s held for four years. Before that, he spent thirteen years delivering milk for Guida’s Dairy in New Britain until COVID-19 disrupted the dairy industry. When asked how he learned about Favarh, he said his daughter, a former Favarh assistant manager, encouraged him to attend a job fair, leading him to discover his role as a DSP. Clarence lives in Manchester with his wife of 20 years, Christie. His family includes four grown children. When he’s not working, Clarence enjoys resting or tagging along with Christie on her shopping trips. His dedication to family, community, and the residents at Lavender Field Apartments exemplifies the spirit of Favarh. Thank you, Clarence, for your commitment and care!
