Special Message from President and CEO, Stuart Lindeman:
"Happy National Skilled Nursing Care Week (NSNCW)! I would like to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to each of you. This year's theme, “Tapestry of Life,” beautifully encapsulates the diverse and meaningful stories that make up our communities. Each resident, family member, caregiver, and staff member contributes a unique thread to this vibrant tapestry, creating a rich and resilient fabric of care and compassion.
Your unwavering dedication and hard work are the foundation of Mission Health Communities. In the face of challenges, including staffing shortages and increased care demands, your commitment to excellence has remained steadfast. Our initiatives, such as the mentorship programs and the “Discover You” educational advancement program, have been instrumental in fostering professional growth and improving staff retention. These efforts not only enhance our team's capabilities but also directly impact the quality of care we provide to our residents.
The 2025 Skilled Nursing Workforce Report highlights the critical link between staff retention and quality care. Facilities with lower turnover rates see significant improvements in resident satisfaction and overall care quality . Your dedication to creating a supportive and enriching work environment is a testament to our shared values of Character, Attitude, Respect, Excellence, and Service.
As we celebrate NSNCW, let's take pride in the positive impact we have on the lives of our residents and their families. Your compassion and professionalism are the threads that strengthen our community's tapestry.
Thank you for your continued commitment to excellence. Together, we weave a tapestry of life that reflects the best of what skilled nursing care can offer.
Sincerely,
Stuart Lindeman"
