For me motherhood is a special blessing. It is more than bearing children. Throughout the years I learn that there is no perfect way to be a mother because each situation is different and unique.

Last big event for this month is the National Nursing Home Week. This year’s theme is, “It’s a small world with a big heart”. This is the great time when we celebrate the life journey of our Residents and appreciates our staffs who provides the care and support that our Residents needed. Our mission statement, “Providing Quality Focused Care One Resident at a Time” drives everything that we do. We will have balloon toss on Monday, Women’s Beauty Pageant on Tuesday for it’s never too late to be a Queen, etc.
To all our Residents and their families, thank you for entrusting with us your care and the care of your loved

I strongly believe that if I could make some positive changes I would decide to do them to influence some senior citizens’ lives and to change their isolation for companion and thankfulness. I would advocate for the elderly with our authorities and I would request a budget to build a clinic to provide preventive health care services for them.
