ACF Presidential Medallions are awarded to ACF members who exemplify culinary excellence and leadership and who have contributed their knowledge, skills and expertise to the advancement of the culinary profession. Chef Davis CEC, AAC won his first medallion in 2002.
The medallion was presented to Chef Davis CEC, AAC by ACF National President Michael Ty, CEC, AAC. Chef Davis has been the Executive Chef at 10 Wilmington Place Retirement Community for the past 14 years and receives high praise for his talent from residents and staff.
A special ceremony was held to honor the commitment of volunteers to our community.
Volunteers are the core of our community. They help out with behind the scenes tasks, promote leadership, provide music and laughter, create fellowship and most of all sit quietly and listen when someone needs to talk.
Many of our volunteers say they receive great satisfaction and have met more people by getting involved and they hope to inspire others to volunteer by saying, "Yes I can, and so can you!"
Thank you for all you do!
Our Director of Nursing, Donna Campbell, reported amazing results about medication reduction with residents inThe Josephine Memory Care Center with the implementation of the behavior based ergonomic program.
Over the past 8 months, 6 out of 12 residents withAlzheimer’s and/or dementia had a significant reduction with the use pain and behavioral medications, and 3 of them are no longer taking medications for behavior at all.
All the residents have an increased interest in activities and social interactions with family and other residents. We believe these results are evidence of the compassion, hard work and commitment of the staff and our behavior based ergonomics program.
