WE LOVE OUR THERAPISTS! AND, WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT LEARNING! Throughout the month of February, we are providing Learning “Oppties”. To learn more about the February Learning “Oppties” program, please read the introductory article posted January 31.
I am so pleased to announce the Learning “Oppties” winners from Week 2. We had a number of challenging questions throughout the second week, asking for information regarding state licensing, as well as Medicare rules and regulations surrounding billing. Great attention to detail was noted in the responses and it was exciting to see continued growth in the amount of involvement. The TEAM WINNER for last week’s “Oppties” award is TEAM CLARION! Careage of Clarion is located in our newest company, Gateway. The Gateway Company is comprised of 9 Skilled Nursing Facilities across the states of Iowa and Nebraska. This home has 86 beds and saw its highest Skilled Census just recently when they hit 7. Our therapy team has successfully transitioned to an in-house program, led by Betsy Engelbarts, Director of Rehab and Speech-Language Pathologist. Karin Sande, SLP, Wendy Tireman, COTA, Jennifer Groen, PTA, and Sandra Fee, PT, combined for over 17 responses to our “Oppties” challenges last week! Way to go, Team Clarion. For your participation, you will be receiving an “I’m a Winner” T-Shirt and EnsignTherapy.com water can. We will also be coming to spend a lunch or breakfast with you to discuss the topic of “Passion in Healthcare”. We look forward to time with your team and are so grateful for the beautiful work you are doing for our residents and patients at Careage of Clarion.
Sam Baxter, PT, DOR at Orem Rehabilitation and Nursing in Orem, UT and Terry Martin, OT, DOR at Cloverdale Healthcare Center in Cloverdale, CA are our Individual Winners for week 2. They, too, will be receiving an “I’m a Winner” T-Shirt and watercan. Thank you, all, for your participation. Deb Bielek, Therapy Resource
