She keeps all res- ident federal and state assessments up to date and leads the care plan team in communicating the best compassionate individualized care of residents with their families. Mary plans to travel and enjoy reading and relaxing at home after her retirement on August 30. Carrie Meeks, RN and former Director of Nursing at LSHCF will be taking Mary’s place in the MDS Coordinator position.
