A Day at Jenkins Living Center
 

Be it the nursing department, housekeeping, activities, dietary or maintenance, the Jenkins Living Center staff strives to provide the best care for your loved one. Caring, dedicated employees are found in every department. 

• Nursing:
  Nursing is by far the largest segment of the operation at Jenkins Living Center. Headed up by Director of Nursing Jan Van Sickle, the nursing department strives to care for the physical, emotional, spiritual and mental needs of each resident in a warm and caring home-like environment.

• Therapy Department
  Achieving one's highest potential is important in all age groups including seniors. To meet this objective,  JLC provides a team of therapists that is skilled in assisting residents and outpatients of all ages to maximize their functional independence. Therapists tailor their programs to achieve the best results in regards to function and safety.

• Activities: 
  The Activity Department plans activities to meet the interests and needs of the residents. Many of our activities are based on things that are familiar to the residents and things they have enjoyed in the past. There is a monthly activity plan and family and residents are encouraged to be aware of upcoming activities and take part.

• Dietary:
  Jenkins Living Center employs a Registered Dietitian. Therapeutic diets are prepared according to physician's prescribed orders. Meals are served in the dining room and a morning, afternoon and evening nutrition cart is brought to the floors.

• Administration:
  The Administration Department of Jenkins Living Center is committed to ensuring that residents in the facility receive the best quality health care products and services available during their stay. Although residents and family members are encouraged to address concerns directly with staff, the Administrator of this facility, Loren Diekman, and Medical Director Dr. Aaron Shives, always welcome your comments and suggestions concerning resident care.

• Religious Life
  Jenkins Living Center is concerned for the whole person and seeks to care for each resident's physical, mental, and spiritual welfare. For this purpose a chaplain is employed to assist residents and staff. His mission is to assist, and not to replace, the priest or pastor of the resident. Residents and their families are encouraged to contact him for any assistance.

• Maintenance:
  The Jenkins incorporation consists of the skilled nursing facility, Cedar View Assisted Living, 200 Maple Place and Town View Apartments. The Jenkins maintenance team of seven people - headed up by Maintenance Director Wayne Deelstra - is charged daily with maintaining the facilities systems.
