Services

Admissions
Admissions arrangements may be made by the resident, the family, a hospital social worker or personal physician. A member of our staff will meet with prospective residents and/ or representatives to gather information needed for admission. Our office manager, Vicki Mook, has been helping residents and their families for the past 34 years and will explain the different financial options that are available.

Social Services
Heather Mertens , our social worker, joined our team in 2007. Prior to her coming to Greenway, she was the social worker of a nursing home in the Madison area. Heather and her husband Mike along with their two children live in the Spring Green area.

Heather will help the resident and family with moving in, getting settled and making plans for their stay here. Heather will try to arrange for a compatible roommate and will be available to explore any concerns of feelings with the resident and family members.

Hether will conduct an admission interview and will explain policies and procedures. A social history will be obtained upon admission. Residents will be informed of the Resident’s Bill of Rights and will be asked to sign admission forms.

Medical Care
Katie Peper , our Director of Nurses, was a staff nurse for Greenway for 10 years prior to her becoming our DON in 2003. Katie, her husband Brian and their two children operate a dairy farm near Loganville. Most of Katie’s professional career has been with Greenway Manor and we feel very fortunate having her in charge of our nursing department.

Registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are on duty 24 hours a day to carry out your physician’s orders. They will administer medications ,treatments, take daily checks and readings, and report any change in the resident’s condition to their physician. We normally schedule three nurses on our day shift, two nurses on our evening shift and one nurse on our night shift. On weekends we schedule two nurses on our day shift.

Greenway also has certified nursing assistants who are trained to meet the many personal needs of each resident. We normally schedule 6 to 7 certified nursing assistants on our day and evening shifts and 3 certified nursing assistants on our night shift. The exact number of staff who are scheduled normally depends on how many residents are residing in the facility at a given time.

Therapy
Greenway Manor opened a new Rehabilitation Center in 1996, It is very spacious and fully equipped. The Physical and Occupational therapists provide services on a daily basis and speech therapy is available on a as needed basis.
Residents who may have suffered a stroke and or may have had hip or knee surgery would benefit from our Rehab department and normally Medicare or private insurance will cover much of the cost.

Food Services
The dietary staff will provide delicious and nutritional meals and can accommodate any special diet your physician may order. Every effort will be made to honor individual preferences within the prescribed dietary limits of the physician’s orders. Greenway’s Certified Dietary Manager, Debbie Wilson, has been directing the food service department for the past 30 years. Debbie is a certified dietary manager and is past president of the Wisconsin Dietary Manager’s Association. In addition to Debbie’s expertise we also have a registered dietitian that visits Greenway on a regular basis. Debbie always meets with every resident to learn about personal preferences and to explain any dietary restrictions. We also encourage families to stop during a meal time and have lunch or supper with their resident.
