Stephan has been a true pillar in the facility since the day we acquired it. His depth of knowledge and willingness to share it make a meaningful difference in ensuring that every resident at Park Place receives the care and services they need.
In his MDS role, Stephan not only follows all policies and procedures with diligence and accuracy, but he also educates his coworkers on the importance behind each step. His commitment to compliance, quality, and teamwork elevates the entire department. Stephan’s peers look up to him for guidance and support, and his consistent dedication sets the standard for excellence. I can’t think of a more deserving candidate for this recognition.”
