Ridgewood Resident Celebrates 70th Anniversary With Husband While Social Distancing

May 20, 2020

Ridgewood - Couple celebrates 70th anniversary
Ed and Sara Lowery hold hands through the glass during their 70th wedding anniversary.

With the help of some staff members, a Ridgewood Health and Rehabilitation resident was able to celebrate her 70th wedding anniversary with her husband, all while social distancing.

Sara Lowery has been a Ridgewood resident for almost five years. Before COVID-19, her husband, Ed, would spend seven to nine hours each day with his bride of now 70 years.

“He would come in the morning and leave in the evening,” said Helen Ionashku, administrator. “Since we are in quarantine, Mr. Lowery has not been able to visit his sweet heart, therefore he thought he would not be able to have any kind of celebration for their 70th anniversary.”

 

Mr. Lowery’s son, Kenny, emailed asking how his mom and dad could celebrate their anniversary.

 

Ionashku worked with Matthew Cummings, director of operations, and Lori Brown, director of Health Services, to come up with an idea. They decided to prepare a meal and set up two identical tables on each side of the glass window in the front of the facility so the couple could celebrate safely.

 

Ionashku brought the idea up to her staff. “One thing led to another, and we ended up making the day a big ‘Love always wins’ day for the couple,” Ionashku said.

For safety, Ed and Sara Lowery celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary on either side of the glass at the front of Ridgewood Health and Rehabilitation due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Mary Sue Smith, Social Services, purchased an outfit and a veil for Mrs. Lowery. Gaye McKenzie, activities coordinator, gave Mrs. Lowery a makeover.

 

“This was absolutely amazing!” said Kenny Lowery. “It made my day. I’ll never be able to express how much my family appreciates the efforts of the Ridgewood staff in making this happen. Seventy years is quite a milestone!”

 

Ionashku said she is happy that the celebration came together. “This is a beautiful love story,” she said.

Established by the American Health Care Association (AHCA) in 1967, NSNCW, formerly known as National Nursing Home Week, provides an opportunity for residents and their loved ones, staff, volunteers, and surrounding communities to acknowledge the role of skilled nursing care centers in caring for America’s seniors and individuals with disabilities.

Quinton Memorial Receives Zero Deficiencies On State Survey

December 6, 2017

Quinton Memorial Receives Zero Deficiencies

Quinton Memorial Health and Rehabilitation recently received a zero-deficiency rating in its annual recertification survey by the state of Georgia.

The zero-deficiency survey result means Quinton is in compliance with the rules and regulations that govern skilled nursing facilities set by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and that quality care is being provided.

Steve Fromm, Hamilton Long Term Care operations director, talked with one of the surveyors who said, “I have seen a lot of nursing homes over the years, and this is one I would be willing to recommend for my family and friends.”

The state average for deficiencies in Georgia is 4.4, and the national average is 6.5.

“This survey result is evidence of the excellent work that Dennis Stout (administrator), Tammy Wilson (director of nursing) and their entire team does on a regular basis!” said Fromm.
