To: Solheim Employees, Residents, Family Members and Stakeholders
From: Sam Oden, CEO of Solheim Senior Community
As we enter this season of gratitude and reflection, it becomes increasingly clear how integral our staff is to the exceptional care provided at our facility. Their unwavering dedication and tireless efforts are the cornerstone of our community's well-being. In recognition of this, we warmly invite you to join us in showing your deep appreciation for their commitment. Every year at this time, we offer a meaningful way to express your gratitude: by contributing to the Employee Appreciation Fund. Your generous donations, which can be made until Friday, December 8th, will be distributed equally among our staff, serving as a tangible testament to your support and recognition of their invaluable service.
While expressions of gratitude can be shared through our Solheim Feeling Employee Recognition nomination cards available at the front desk and nursing stations, or online at www.solheimsenior.org/employee-recognition, a monetary gift elevates your appreciation to a tangible act of support. These contributions, regardless of size, go beyond mere financial assistance; they embody a powerful acknowledgment of the hard work, dedication, and heart our staff pour into their roles every day. To make your donation, please visit www.solheimsenior.org/donate and choose the Employee Appreciation option. Together, in this season of giving, let's unite to uplift and celebrate those who dedicate themselves to serving our community with such extraordinary devotion.
As I mentioned last week, Solheim welcomes all residents to invite up to 2 family members to a special Thanksgiving Buffet at 12:00 pm on Thursday November 23rd for $30 per person.
