November 2016
During the month of November we are reminded of all of our blessings in life.  We look into the past and recall the wonderful memories that we have with our loved ones, as well as look at our present to be thankful for all of the things that we have from day to day.

We, at Madison Heights, have a unique perspective as we are able to know the residents as they are today.  One of the things we can be most thankful for are the "moments of clarity" where we see a piece of their past shine through. We are able to take this opportunity to get to know them better-both who they are today as well as the piece they are revealing to us of their past and to find a way to connect those pieces of their personality.

This November we are going to remember to be thankful for all of the special moments with our residents as well as the memories that we share together.  We will continue loving and caring for them as if they are our own family and we are thankful for YOU for sharing your loved one with us.
Just wanted to point out....
   
We are proud to announce that our state survey came back as deficiency free.  We are proud of all of the care staff for all of their hard work in ensuring that we are meeting safety standards and regulations as we live out our mission statement.
