Thank You to:

What’s Happening:

Stockton Christian Church for
sponsoring the November
birthday party.
Gaila Beach did a great job
on the piano and leading
songs during our Veterans Day
salute. We also enjoyed her
impromptu poem.
The family of Betty Pearcy for
the generous contribution to
our activity fund in her honor.
Mr. Carsten and the Stockton
H.S. Art Class for decorating
our windows. It really gets us in
the mood for winter!

Dec. 30, New Years Party at 2
p.m. We will reminisce over
the highlights of 2016 and ring
in the new year with refreshments and optimism.

Chelsie Hudson, Director
November Employees of
of Nutritional Services
the Month: We have a tie!
Chelsie has stepped up to
lead the nutritional services
department at LSHCF. She is
nearing the completion of
her dietary manager certification and has nine years of
experience in her department. Her passion to provide
exceptional meals to the residents makes her a true asset
to this facility. We welcome
Chelsie to her new role.

With Sympathy
We would like to extend our
deepest sympathy to the
family and friends of:

Betty Pearcy
Bill Strong

Of all the staff on the ballot,
Annette Burns and Ryan Keith
won the same number of votes
by their peers. They are both
very worthy of the honor.
Ryan is the head of our maintenance department. He is professional, fun loving and is dedicated, being on call nearly
24/7.
Annette is also on call nearly
24/7. She is an R.N. and fills
open nursing slots as needed,
organizes the nursing schedule
and keeps staff and residents
up to date on vaccinations
and health records.

Congratulations to both
Annette and Ryan!

Dec. 6, Christmas Auction at 2
p.m. with Joe Haines and
Donnie Oldham.
Christmas Cards: We will be
assisting residents who wish to
send out cards to friends and
family every Monday morning
up until Dec. 19.
Happy Anniversary! Jack and
Elizabeth Zerkle will celebrate
their 58th wedding anniversary on Dec. 19.
