BRATTLEBORO — It sure is nice to get an A on your report card. An A-plus is even better. Holton Home is celebrating an A-plus! I'd like to thank everyone who made it, not just possible, but inevitable!
As a licensed long-term care facility, Holton Home must care for its elder residents according to strict regulations. It's unusual to be found in full compliance with every one of them, but our state licensing folks say Holton Home is such a place.
They surprised us one recent Monday morning and spent the next day and a half conducting a top-to-bottom review of the care we provide our residents.
Doctors orders in place? Medications given correctly? Clean and safe? A robust and fun activities program? Criminal record checks and staff training? And, most importantly, do our residents feel cared for with respect and excellence? The answer: “Yes!”
And so, a hearty thank you to the staff who make it not just possible, but inevitable that Holton Home was found to have zero deficiencies and much to be proud of.
Our team includes Ellenka Wasung-Lott, Lisa Everett Vose, Ashley Rose, Kree Rinfret, Cheryl Richards, Karen Penson, Wendy Parent, Kelly Morse, Shirley Morrill, Lynn Miner, Robin Lindsell, Carol Killay, Linda Hastings, Joshua Hart, Rose Gerry, Tammy Eliers, Else Devoid, Cindy Downs, Chris Clark, Pam Boyd, Nancy Bonneau, and Julie Ball.
Thanks as well to our board of directors, the many volunteers who enrich our lives each day, and the greater community for its support. We're celebrating our 120th year of serving our community's elders and promise to continue setting the standard for elder care for many years to come.
