It is always hard to see things attached to our emotions be destroyed. But the truth is, our Vision stated we would "inspire the lives we touch to Celebrate LIFE Each & Every Day." The vision of Birchwood Manor was never intended to live only within the walls of a building. Many lives were transformed as they came through our doors. What they expected to be an ending became a beginning of new experiences and relationships. Our care team dedicated more than just their time to Birchwood Manor. Over and over the term "family" has been used to describe the relationships of care staff, residents, families and beyond. Family doesn't end just because their home is gone. Birchwood Manor will live beyond this moment.. through the lives of everyone who has ever been a part of us. WE are Birchwood Manor!
Thank you to the North Bend Eagle for this simply perfect article, and for the many articles telling our story over the years.
The North Bend community is served well by those who tell our stories like the Eagle and those who envision our future like the North Bend Public School Board and leadership. It is good to know that Birchwood Manor will continue to serve the growth of the community.
While this will be our last post, this page will remain to allow the photos and memories of past years to continue to be shared through the memories of residents, families, caregivers, and friends.
