Rock With Us Saturday Apr 21 2012


Rock for New Medical Equipment!
Our staff and Little Sisters at Jeanne Jugan Residence provide for the necessities of our entire family of residents from independent living to skilled nursing. As their needs change over time, so does the level of care we provide. In order to continue providing the same quality care and maintaining the safety of our residents, we are replacing some of our outdated medical equipment. These replacements are necessary for the continuous care of our elderly residents and are essential to promoting the health and well-being through access to excellent care.

We have a proven track record for placing resident care as our number one priority as noted in being awarded a perfect five-star rating for the past four years. U.S. News & World Report examined more than 15,500 nursing homes to select 39 with perfect performance ratings in 2011. With four quarters of perfect five-star ratings from the Federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in all three areas—health inspections, nurse staffing, and quality of care—Jeanne Jugan Residence distinguished itself again as one of the nation’s best care communities.

Obviously, such recognition could not have been earned without the hard work of every single member of our staff. The incredible care and dedication shown on a daily basis not only reflects their quality, but also the very mission of the Little Sisters of the Poor. By providing a safe, loving atmosphere and welcoming each individual into our family with open arms, their tireless devotion makes our facility stand out among 15,000 others in all 50 states.

Please join us by participating in our Annual Rock for the Aged fundraising event, which will benefit our medical equipment needs. On April 21, 2012, Rock for the Aged, our 5th annual rocking chair marathon, will be held, from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. at our Home. Residents, staff, volunteers, family members and friends are joining the Little Sisters of the Poor to seek sponsors to keep the chairs rocking and help meet our goal of $30,000 to be utilized for the funding of our medical equipment.
