‘Tis the Season Newsletter Tori Couch January, 2015 The Holiday’s are a special time of year, when we are reminded to give thanks and recognize the importance of friends, family, and celebrating life. Across the Greystone Health Network, our communities celebrated the holiday’s with festive fervor, getting into the spirit with ugly sweater contests, BELIEVE trees, and more! The Club Health & Rehabilitation Center was part of The Villages annual holiday parade this year, representing Greystone with a “Grandma got run over by a reindeer” theme, as well as holding an ugly sweater content for their associates. The winners of their sweater contest, and their float, are pictured below. The rest of our communities got in the spirit as well, with the BELIEVE tree at Viera Health & Rehab and some holiday decorations at Unity Health & Rehab (bottom right and top right, respectively).

I am pleased to introduce myself and thank everyone for the warm welcome I received as the new Administrator. Here’s a little bit of background on me; I graduated from Eastside High School right here in Gainesville and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Long-Term Care Administration from Bellevue University in Nebraska. I have lived in the Gainesville/Melrose area for the last 35 years and feel close to the community as a result. Be on the lookout for my beautiful, loving wife and three beautiful children, they will stop by occasionally to visit our facility! I have 13 years experience in long-term care starting as the Dietary Manager in a rural facility . I accepted my first position as an Administrator 5 years ago in the Orange Park area. And on a personal note- I am a staunch FSU fan! It is easy to see the impact that Brian had on the facility during his tenure as Administrator here. With that said, I hope to continue in his footsteps to help bring the highest level of quality care and respect that I can. I look forward to meeting everyone personally and building lasting relationships within our community. We still have a lot of renovations going on inside and outside of the building and I thank everyone for their patience in the process, as I know it can be a bit frustrating at times. The projects are really coming together and it is only with your help and support that we are accomplishing them. Thank you for welcoming me into your hearts and home. I look forward to making many great memories with all of you! Sincerely, Aaron Coppola Resident Resident that WOWs Birthdays Alexander Jandrucko is our resident that WOWs for this month.
