“Being
a resident of a locally owned facility has great advantages for those
who reside at Meadows Manor East. The Company President, Board, and
staff genuinely care about the quality of care the residents receive.
In the many years I have worked here, I have never had any request
submitted to the President and Board for one of our residents refused
~ whether it be a specialty bed, wound care, briefs, even down to an
anniversary dinner for a resident and her husband. The quality of care
comes first.
They also care about their staff, and this makes for low turnover, which
makes our continuity of care one of the best. Some staff members have
been here over thirty years. I have even had staff members go out to
a local restaurant and purchase food when a resident requested it. ‘Anything
for the resident’ is their frame of mind. To some, we become their
family, as they are loved like our own families. At the end of the day,
it all comes down to ‘the resident comes first’.”

“For
the past 10 years I have had the pleasure of working here at Meadows
Manor East. I am the Social Service and Activity Director, an achievement
supported by Meadows Manor East and our parent company, Sunset Harbor.
I’ve always looked forward to coming to work. The residents and staff are
part of my ‘family’. I have worked for a large corporation in the
past and have decided I would work for Sunset Harbor over a large corporation
any day. I’m treated as an individual employee, not just an employee number.
Here at Meadows Manor East, our Administrator has an open-door policy for our
residents, family, and staff. Joyce knows each one of our residents and staff
members. That in itself speaks volumes.”

“I
have been employed with Meadows Manor East for 7_ years. There is always
an open-door policy for both residents and staff. I started as a CNA
and am now working as a Restorative Aide.
I have been a CNA for 40 years and I really enjoy what I do. All of the residents
are like family to me.”

“I
have been an employee for 29 years. I started at Meadows Manor North
(our sister facility) as a housekeeper
and worked there for 10 years until I transferred to Meadows Manor East
as Housekeeping Supervisor. I have enjoyed working at both facilities
and for our parent company, Sunset Harbor.Being locally owned, they are
very caring. I have the utmost respect for the
company and our Administrator.”

“I
have been employed with Meadows Manor East for 18 years. I began as
a Charge Nurse of the unit then worked my way up to Care Plan Coordinator
and then finally MDS Coordinator.
I enjoy working for a Company that values you as a person, not just an employee
or number.”

“Why work in Long Term Care? Because
I love taking care of the elderly folks. What a privilege to see their
smiling faces when you do the least little thing for them. I just started
working at Meadows Manor East in 1983 ~ I worked the 3 – 11 shift
part-time. I loved coming to work here. The residents and staff were
great to work with. Later, I came to the 7 – 3 shift full-time
as In-service Director and Infection Control Nurse. I quit Meadows
Manor East twice for other employment, but always came back and each
time I
realized I was back home.
Last fall, October 14, 2006, I became a Certified Wound Specialist
thru the American Academy of Wound Management. I enjoy my work and
as I see
residents improving
it gives me great satisfaction at the end of the day to know I have made a
difference in the lives of these dear souls.”

Nurse, CWS |

“The
staff is always very nice, no matter what kind of day they are having.
Our rooms are clean. The food
is very good. I enjoy the variety of activities. I have made a lot of
friends here at Meadows Manor East.”

“Both
my parents are residents of Meadows Manor East. My mother has lived
here for 3_ years. My father has lived here for 2 years. As I am their
only daughter and their Power of Attorney, I feel very comfortable
with knowing they are living in a very safe home.
If I have any concerns or questions all employees, from the kitchen staff through
to the front office, are always willing to do their best to help ease my concerns.
I can’t think of any other place I’d want my parents, John and Edna
Doades, to spend the rest of their lives than here at Meadows Manor East.”
Beverly J. Hettich, Daughter to Residents |

“When
I have a problem, I usually go to the Social Service Director or the
Administrator. My problems or concerns
are resolved within a very short time. I also like the activity program.
I can be busy or I can rest at my leisure.”
Godfrey Isaacs, 2nd Time Resident |

“I
am pleased with the staff and the activity programs that my wife, Mildred,
participates in at Meadows Manor
East. All staff members are very thoughtful and helpful to family as
well as residents.The most important thing is the care my wife Mildred
receives ~ it is the best!”
Harry Scamihorn, Spouse of Resident |

“I
like the food and activities that are offered. The staff treats me
as an individual. I enjoy joking around with all the staff. I’m
currently trying to talk the Administrator into getting me a golf cart
~ I want to check on the neighborhood.”
