Legacy of Excellence

 

7 years ago today



Cathy Riegel, our beloved Director of Social Services is radiant as she remembers the big move to all private rooms at Logan Acres Care Center.   She states that "on July 25, 2006 the residents & staff of Logan Acres paraded down the highway to our new building.  We celebrated our first lunch and began settling into our new digs.  It really was fantastic,  we thought it would take all day but thanks to the help of a lot of volunteers we were finished in 2 hours!"

Today we continue to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine on the same  land that was purchased in 1849, now with the blessing of a modern building to call home.  Our  rural setting can be enjoyed comfortably from the many landscaped outdoor areas and sunrooms.  Folks can be seen daily rocking on the front porch with family and friends.  A favorite pastime is shooting the breeze while taking in the view of the tall corn just awaiting harvest...how appropriate, since Logan Acres remained a working farm until 1980.

Innumerable things have changed but thanks to  the servant leadership of many over the years, the essence of Logan Acres has remained the same, ensuring our Legacy of Excellence for a long time to come.
