Dear readers,

October is a season of transformation, reflection, and celebration—a time when we gather together and embrace change. This fall, let's come together in the spirit of camaraderie and take part in the enriching activities and events happening at our facilities. Whether it's participating in our family trick-or-treats, new employee Swag Grabs, Caught Caring, or simply enjoying the crisp autumn air during your breaks, we encourage you to participate and savor these moments of connection. By being active participants in fall activities, we can make a profound difference in the lives of those we serve, and those we work alongside. Together, we can create cherished memories and moments of joy that will warm our hearts throughout the season.

Self-described as compassionate, empathetic, and a good listener, Dr. Tien's journey in the field of medicine was sparked by a transformative childhood experience when she witnessed a physician save her father’s life. Dr. Tien is board-certified in Family Medicine - an area of medicine that focuses on comprehensive health care, including acute, chronic, and preventive care. Her expertise and connection to Jefferson Abington Hospital make her the ideal physician to continue your care transition. Of her experience at Garden Spring Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Dr. Tien says “In my years as a physician, I couldn’t be more impressed at the team’s interdisciplinary collaboration, unwavering dedication, mutual respect, proactive diligence, and open communication.”

To her, #LiveWell means “Be a positive presence and impact patients and staff. Motivate others to pursue mental and physical well-being and mindfulness.”

Our heartfelt appreciation goes out to all the individuals who took the time to nominate their fellow teammates, as well as our exceptional employees who consistently go the extra mile to ensure the well-being of our residents.



If you are interested in nominating a team member for our Caught Caring Club, please look for the nomination box in your facility and fill out a nomination card!

If you have the Engaged platform, you can also nominate colleagues by using the "Recognize" function and the "Caught Caring" tag.

October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Join Us in the Fight!

As October unfolds, we come together to shine a light on a cause that affects many of our residents, visitors, families, and colleagues: Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It's a time to remember, honor, support, and empower those who have faced or are facing, this challenging journey. We encourage you all to take part, whether it's by educating yourselves, supporting a local charity, or simply reminding your loved ones to schedule regular check-ups. Join us in wearing pink, in raising awareness, and in standing together as a compassionate and supportive community. Together, we can make a difference and contribute to a future without breast cancer.

What #LiveWell Means to You: "Work/Life Balance (Be happy, be healthy, always address your stress, be honest with yourself, and mental health should always be a priority)"
