March Birthdays

The Shadow Lake LetterA monthly newsletter for Hillcrest Shadow Lake residents

Kevin’s Column

March 2019

I would like to congratulate Amanda Thurman as our Team Member of the Year for 2018! She is extremely versatile. She is aware of the care needs of every resident in our community. Many times you see her stopping what she is doing to assist a resident or team member, and she does this

in every single hallway of the community. She knows every resident by name, and often times, their family and friends. Amanda is very outgoing and interacts with every team member and resident in the building. She’s familiar with team members in each department at Hillcrest Shadow Lake as well as at the Hillcrest Health Services Home Office. She always comes to work with a positive attitude. Amanda will befriend all new team members and make them feel welcome. She enjoys showing them “the tricks of the trade.” Thank you for everything you do, Amanda! Cold and flu season is still present. Please remember the importance of hand washing to help stop the spread of illnesses. Also, if you are not feeling well, please wait to visit your loved one until you are feeling better. This will make the visit more enjoyable for everyone.-Kevin Sauberzweig, Administrator

Featured EventMerrymakers Association Presents Rockin’ Woody

March 18, 10 a.m. Rockin’ Woody (Tom Strohmyer) will be here to entertain us. He plays multiple instruments,

including piano, guitar, trumpet, sax and harmonica, and loves to get the crowd involved.

Sometimes he’ll even mix in a little juggling or magic, too. Needless to say, there won’t be a

dull moment!
