                   THE ELDERSPAN NEWSLETTER

                    CELEBRATING OVER 25 YEARS OF QUALITY, CARING SERVICE!

We hope all of you had a wonderful holiday season with those you love, even
if celebrations had to be virtual! Each of our ElderSpan-managed buildings
were full of Christmas cheer, as you can tell by the surrounding photos.
Residents helped trim the tree, enjoyed visits from Santa Claus, participated
in door decorating contests, and sang Christmas carols together. Family
members and friends were sorely missed at the annual Family Christmas
parties, but we look forward to the joyful day when we can all be together
once again.

In this issue we are recognizing staff members who are celebrating
anniversaries with ElderSpan. Our staff members are the heart and soul of our
organization and we are very grateful for them. Please join us in expressing
appreciation to them and to all our staff for their outstanding service and
commitment to our residents.

A Step in the Right Direction
ElderSpan residents and staff were thrilled to receive the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine
in January! Staff at CrestRidge Senior Living in Dodgeville were the first to get vaccinated on
January 11th at Upland Hills Health Hospital. A heartfelt thank you to all of the pharmacies, local
hospitals and health departments for administering the vaccines. This is a huge step toward
combating this virus and our anxious return to normalcy!
