To: Solheim Employees, Residents, Family Members and Stakeholders
From: Sam Oden, CEO of Solheim Senior Community
I hope everyone enjoyed the festive Tree Trimming in our Residential Dining Room yesterday! It certainly is beginning to look a lot like Christmas around campus! My favorite part was putting new hooks on the ornaments as we got them out of the boxes!
Thank you to those who’ve been able to return your Resident Satisfaction Survey. Please note that we have extended our deadline to return your Resident Satisfaction Survey, if you have received one, to next Friday December 9th. These surveys are a very important tool for Solheim to get a sense of how we are doing in the eyes of our residents. Your responses provide us with critical information that is necessary to fulfill our mission statement: “To provide abundant living for older adults in a caring faith-based community filled with love, peace, dignity, and security.”
Once a year, you can show your appreciation for our staff by making a monetary donation to our Employee Appreciation Fund, which will then be distributed equally among all staff. You may always offer kind words through our Solheim Feeling Employee Recognition nomination cards found at the front desk or nursing stations, or visit us online at www.solheimsenior.org/employee-recognition. These kind words mean the world to our staff! To make a monetary gift, visit www.solheimsenior.org/donate or contact Tina Antypas.
