We would like to recognize our therapy department for National Rehabilitation Awareness Week! Pictured are Lisa Ambrose and Bobby Cielo from Physicial Therapy, Donise Williams from Speech Therapy, and Ty Jennings from Occupational Therapy. Not pictured is Shawana Strader from Occupational Therapy. Each of our therapists does an amazing job with meeting the needs of each resident in their care.
Our therapy department is a welcoming environment for our residents and many visit even when they are not on the caseload. We are proud of each of you. We have THE BEST therapy team.
Thank you for everything that you do!
Thank you to Renee Lowery, from Caris Hospice, for providing a lemonade and cookie stand to our staff and residents.
Some of our residents took an opportunity recently to go off-campus, grab a bite to eat, and visit a local car show. It was a great opportunity for building community and having a little fun. The residents got to visit with the owners of the cars, which brought back some old memories, too.
This Friday our residents are having an off-campus activity to Scott’s Farm Market in Unicoi for ice cream! This is a family owned, local farm that specializes in tomatoes, strawberries, and serving up delicious ice cream. It’s always fun to get out, explore, and who doesn’t like ice cream!
Sunday, May 14 to Saturday, May 20, 2023, is National Skilled Nursing Week, formerly known as National Nursing Home Week. This year’s theme is “Cultivating Kindness,” in hopes that all will continue cultivating and spreading kindness to improve lives. Since 1967, when the celebration was established by American Health Care Association, National Skilled Nursing Care Week begins on Mother’s Day every year and continues to the following Saturday.
The Erwin Health Care Center (EHCC) team works together to create a homey environment for residents. This is especially true when it comes to celebrating holidays.
