Once again the calendar has given us a blank canvas for us to paint with achievements gained from taking risks and properly utilizing the opportunities presented to us. It is my hope that this year that we all take part in a cause, with the holidays passing we have all donated our time or money to something or to someone we felt needed it, but throughout the year there are many causes that remain relevant, that being Alzheimer’s, Breast Cancer or even Heart Health. So this year, I would like to initiate participation in one or two of these causes as a team, to bring us closer as a community and closer to our community. For all of those that find they may be interested, please stay tuned and look out for planning and meeting dates. This year let us all look forward to continuity. Here at Wilton Manors I hope we continue to excel, expand and work towards achieving our full potential as long-term and rehabilitation healthcare providers. I would like to remind everyone that as a team it is of upmost importance to continue providing the best customer service to our members, their loved ones and each other and to continue to practice our best practice standards: B.E.L.I.E.V.E. Let’s make it a good one! Happy New Year!

Everyone had loads of fun playing tug of war, having their faces painted, bouncing in the igloo castle bounce house and racing in potato sacks! 7 ‘Tis the Season Tori Couch The Holiday’s are a special time of year, when we are reminded to give thanks and recognize the importance of friends, family, and celebrating life. Across the Greystone Health Network, our communities celebrated the holiday’s with festive fervor, getting into the spirit with ugly sweater contests, BELIEVE trees, and more! The Club Health & Rehabilitation Center was part of The Villages annual holiday parade this year, representing Greystone with a “Grandma got run over by a reindeer” theme, as well as holding an ugly sweater content for their associates. The winners of their sweater contest, and their float, are pictured below. The rest of our communities got in the spirit as well, with the BELIEVE tree at Viera Health & Rehab and some holiday decorations at Unity Health & Rehab (bottom right and top right, respectively). We want to recognize our customers, in the spirit of the holiday season, and all the joy, laughter, and excitement they bring to our lives. Our associates as well are an essential part of our team, and we’re thrilled to work with such capable and qualified individuals across our network. As January marks the New Year, we’re looking ahead to reaching even new heights in 2015! Find Greystone on the Web!
