Years ago, you hardly noticed a little scape, scratch or bruise. Within a short while, the wound healed and before long the sore was long forgotten.

Many times when an individual requires care in a skilled nursing facility, the decision on where to place the patient needs to be made immediately. The decision is often triggered by a medical event, like stroke or a fall, and the patient is treated at a hospital and later discharged directly to a skilled nursing facility.

What do you enjoy most about your job?
I love interacting with my co-workers, volunteers and clients. I take great satisfaction in knowing that we are caring for our elders and helping them to remain living in their homes for as long as is possible. I love how our volunteers come from all different walks of life yet share the same level of giving.
We like to have visitors. Sometimes, the best visitors are unexpected. In all cases, the best visitors are those who stay overnight but need no accommodations, carry no baggage, require no food, and don’t carry on long conversations. They take up no space and leave behind no laundry or trash. They even help around the house.
