25th Anniversary with Logan Acres


Celebrate!

25 years ago today, Carrie Wireman began her long career at Logan Acres.  She fondly  remembers  her first day of work as a State Tested Nursing Assistant , especially her fellow staff that she began her journey with.  A few moments were spent today reminiscing of days gone by, bringing a smile to the face of those who took part as well as those who wish they had.

Carrie holds dear her memories of times in the "old building" as she used her skills to bring comfort to those in her charge but has great appreciation for the beautiful "new building" and what it offers the folks that choose to live here. 

Not only is Carrie the oldest of 8 children and often helped tend to her younger siblings, she lived with & cared for her Grandmother for many years and gives credit to her for having taught her a lot.   The time spent as a caregiver of her family helped solidify her career choice of nurturing others. 

   We are thankful for the countless minutes, hours and days that Carrie has given to the residents of Logan Acres over 25 years. No doubt, she has made a difference in more lives than she or we will ever know.   She continues to provide great stability in Mill Creek, our Memory Care area,  as a key employee.  On her days off, residents ask for her and eagerly await her return.  She is a warm and genuine individual and when asked why she has served in this way for so long, she simply states "I love the people".   

Well, Carrie Wireman, the people love you too.
