MDS Coordinator Doris Springfield and Community Nursing & Rehabilitation resident Dorothy Moore connected when Dorothy was admiring Doris’ hair and lipstick and called her over to get a better look! They both have a shared experience in having a mother who told them that a young lady should always wear lipstick. They even grew up in the same town of Clarksdale, Mississippi! Dorthy’s brother, James Johnson, was on ESPN, and Doris enjoyed watching some footage of him with Dorothy one day.

At Summit City Nursing and Rehabilitation, a special connection has blossomed between resident Marilyn Ruppert and Activity Director Keefer Kieffer. The bond between Marilyn and Keefer quickly formed over their shared passion for cats, allowing them to exchange heartwarming stories and experiences. Recognizing the importance of companionship and meaningful interactions, Keefer never misses a daily visit with Marilyn. Their connection is a perfect example of the compassionate care and personalized attention found among Care Companions at Summit City.
