Windsor Manor leader named top assisted living administrator award
VINTON - Windsor Manor manager Bethany Clemenson knew something was
up when the nurse at her side during last Wednesday's Iowa Assisted Living
Association Awards Banquet could not stop fidgeting.
Yet even she was
surprised when she discovered what nurse Lindsey Nieves had been so fidgety
about.
Nieves' nerves were because her boss was about to be named the
Association's Administrator of the Year during the annual ceremony at the
Baymont Inn and Suites in Des Moines. Read The Rest of the Article-->

Gloria McNaughton's Dream Takes Flight... Literally
 Last winter, the Team at Windsor Manor got together and asked residents about their dreams, with the goal to make them come true. “Windsor Manor’s philosophy revolves around quality of life and maintaining independence.” states Bethany Clemenson, Manager What better way to increase quality of life than to fulfill some dreams? After reviewing all the dreams an idea was born and that idea became the Operation Dream Builders program.
 The goal was set at one dream fulfilled each month. “Many of the dreams are really more of wishes or requests” says Clemenson. “One resident enjoys fresh flowers, so we have them delivered every 2 weeks. Another resident loves lemon meringue pie and so we make sure that he gets it specially made when he plays cards with his daughter.” The dreams vary from driving a tractor again or seeing family, to going on a train ride across Canada.
   
On Saturday April 17th at 9am, resident Gloria McNaughton had her dream fulfilled. Gloria used to have her pilots license and her dream was to go up in a plane again. Thanks to Mark and Kimberly Noe of Vinton, she was able to do this! Friends and family gathered at the Vinton Municipal Airport to see Gloria’s dream come to life.
Clemenson states, “You are never too old to dream. When people lose their dreams….they lose their zest for life. We want to keep those dreams alive. After all, Living life to the Fullest is what Windsor Manor is all about!.”
