All Staff: Name Tag Replacements

Attention All Staff:

As you  know, we are all required to wear name tags to make it easier for residents, family members, visitors and each other to know who we are. It’s always nice to call someone by their name.

If you do not have a name tag, please advise your manager or me by Friday, February 7th and I will make one for you.

Any request for nametags after February 7th will be at a cost of $10.00 each.

Thanks everyone,
