Dysphagia with Katie Weaver

Her dedication to educating both staff and residents about the importance of recognizing and addressing Dysphagia is invaluable. We would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who took the time to visit the front lobby to engage with this important topic and gain new insights. We truly value the dedication and support of our entire team, as it is this collaborative spirit that enables us to address the diverse health needs of our residents effectively. Let us keep this momentum going and strive to make a positive impact.
