To the editor:
September 9 to 15 is National Assisted Living Week. This annual observance was established by The National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL) as a way to celebrate those who choose this type of living option and the caring, dedicated staff members who serve them; and to educate the general public about the importance and benefits of this type of long term care. This year’s theme is “Capture the Moment.”
As the owner and the management company of All Saints Neighborhood, we would like to “Capture the Moment” to express our deep appreciation to Heidi Stringham, LPN Campus Administrator; Jessica Saalsaa, RN Memory Care Administrator; Michelle Naegle, Senior Apartments Property Manager; Cyndi Topmiller, Main Street Apartments Property Manager; Donna Malaise, Community Relations Coordinator, and all of the care coordinators, resident assistants, activity staff, dietary staff, housekeepers, and maintenance technicians who provide the highest quality of care to our residents every day. You are the heart and soul of All Saints Neighborhood and we applaud you for your patience, creativity, and compassion.
We would also like to thank the volunteers who generously share their time and talents with our residents, and the vendors who support All Saints in countless ways — our local hospitals, EMTs and fire departments, clinics, physicians, pharmacies, skilled nursing facilities, tradesmen, entertainers, and other local businesses.
It is an honor to be of service — together — to the families and residents who call All Saints Neighborhood their home.
