A glimpse into our 2024 Staff Service Awards. If you aren't familiar, these annual awards recognize employee longevity and honor their ongoing commitment to our mission. This year's honorees have collectively devoted over 460 years to enriching lives at Country Manor. While this is an important event every year, this year's ceremony, which was led by our beloved CEO, Brian Kelm, now holds an even more profound significance as it became one of the last joyous occasions we shared with him before his unexpected passing. One by one, staff were applauded as they accepted their milestone awards, and their supervisors shared messages of gratitude and stories of their time at Country Manor. In addition to leading the ceremony, this year, Brian was also among the award recipients, and honored for his 35 years of dedicated leadership. In what we now cherish as divine timing, it was truly a gift that we were given this final opportunity to celebrate together, and so freely express our appreciation for one another. This video says it all. Brian's deep love for our team and unwavering dedication to Country Manor shines through in every moment. And we are so thankful we have these words to hold on to. We know this video is longer than our usual posts, but as this was our last celebration with Brian, we wanted to honor it as he deserved. Though he wouldn't have sought such public praise, we're grateful for this chance to celebrate him. To all of this year's award recipients -- it is a privilege to work alongside such exceptional, compassionate individuals. We are truly blessed. And to Brian, our friend, and leader of 35 years -- thank you, for all you've taught us. Your legacy lives on at Country Manor, always. #EnrichingLives https://lnkd.in/gBqJxTCY

We recently had the pleasure of welcoming back students from the Sartell High School who are interested in pursuing a career in healthcare! 💙 We planned a day FULL of hands-on experiences and meaningful interactions across our campus.... 📕 They began the day with a sit down with our Dementia Care Specialist for a 'Working with Dementia' Training. 🌀 From there, they toured Champion Rehab, and explored various therapy equipment, including the HydroWorx warm water pool. 💪 After exercising their brains, they got to exercise their bodies, joining in on an East Commons resident fitness class. 🧒 From there, they joined students from Kids Country for some intergenerational programming. Watching all ages come together was so priceless. 🎲 And they concluded the experience with some quality time with residents, chatting over games and crafts. It was such a fun day from start to finish, and we are so honored to help these aspiring healthcare professionals explore and develop their passion! #FutureNurses #ADayInTheLife #CommunityPartnerships
