Vera Kerschner joined our Laurel Center family on May 7, 2024, drawn to us by our proximity to her son and the glowing recommendation from her brother-in-law, a former resident. Having heard only wonderful things about our care, food, and beautiful landscape, Vera was hopeful. But what she found here exceeded even her expectations.

From the moment she arrived, Vera felt at home in our serene country setting, a reminder of the place she cherished for over 60 years. This connection to the environment has been more than comforting; it’s been healing.

Vera has made remarkable strides since her admission, and her recent triumph at her first-ever bingo event is just one example. She didn’t just win once—she won twice in a row! Amid laughter, Vera joked, “It wasn’t the best way to make friends,” as her roommate playfully teased, “Beginner’s luck!” The joy and camaraderie they shared is the essence of what makes Laurel special.

Having worked as a dental assistant for 34 years, Vera knows the value of a caring community. She now recommends Laurel to friends and family, praising the warm atmosphere, delicious food, and endless activities that keep life vibrant and engaging.

But above all, what Vera loves most about Laurel is the people—the dedicated staff, the friendly residents, and the shared experiences that make every day feel like home. Here at Laurel, Leading with Heart isn’t just a motto; it’s the way we live, and it’s why Vera feels she belongs.

We firmly believe that our mission extends well beyond medical expertise; it encompasses compassion, empathy, and a commitment to holistic care. We are “Leading by Heart” because we understand that behind every diagnosis and treatment plan is a person, a family, and a community relying on us during vulnerable moments.

In the coming days, weeks, and months, we’ll be sharing the excitement of launching our “Leading with Heart” initiative and sharing powerful stories and examples of how our dedicated employees embody this commitment in everything they do. These stories will illustrate the profound impact of “Leading with Heart” and showcase our unwavering dedication to providing not just care, but heartfelt care!
