As we focus on this initiative at Greenbriar, I want to highlight some of the ways in which we demonstrate our commitment. Our care line phone number will continue to have the ability to accept compliments for an associate, but is primarily for grievances. There is also a new website available to submit compliments as well as our compliment box, still located at the receptionist desk. We have notecards located at both entrances of the facility that can be filed out by anyone and are given to the associate complimented as well as posted in a visible area for all to see who has been recognized for their noble work! This program is focusing on recognizing each of us as individuals, promoting a successful company culture, and contributing to the happiness of our residents and the overall success of Greenbriar.

By: Kera Literal, DON It is our pleasure to announce, that the WOW Factor Winner for Greenbriar is Annie Green C.N.A.! Annie now has the opportunity to win an all expenses paid cruise for herself and a guest. This is the second time that Annie has won for our building, and last year she was the cruise winner as well for our region. The cruise recipients will be announced at an awards gala that will be held March 5th. Good luck, Annie! The WOW Factor Winner is a way to acknowledge associates that have received the most commendations throughout the year. Each winner has to have at least five commendations/positive care line calls to be eligible. With her seventeen years of service to Greenbriar, her compassionate nature, and commitment to excellence…it comes as no surprise that Annie would be the one to beat. “I hope I win the cruise again! I had so much fun last year!” Annie stated, after finding out she was once again in the running. When asked why she believes she receives the performance praises from her residents, Annie stated, “It’s because I keep my residents happy. I have always done that.” Annie also states that she continues to strive to provide the highest quality of care, and it has little to do with the chance to win an award. “It’s about the residents and their faces. When they tell you they missed you after you’ve had a day off, and knowing that you make their day. That’s why we do this.” Thank you, Annie for your dedication to our Culture of CARE!
