Resident of the Month
Nu-Roc Community Healthcare is privileged to honor a special resident on a monthly basis. Since its origin in 1983, the "Resident of the Month" program has become a family and facility favorite. Once selected, a professional photographer takes several quality pictures of the resident. An 11" X 14" portrait of the resident is awarded at the beginning of each month at a scheduled facility activity. A brief synopsis of the resident's life and history is framed in a beautiful display and placed in the main entry of the facility for the entire month. During the month of the award, a copy of the portrait is also published in local newspapers to honor the recipient. At month's end, the 11" X 14" photograph is given to the resident or resident's family free of charge. This beautiful memento is a keepsake which can be cherished and handed down from generation to generation.

Nu-Roc Community Healthcare is pleased to announce that Evelyn Baumgartner is the Resident of the Month for February 2012.
Evelyn was born and raised in Wabeno. She did lots of traveling and loved to see new things but has always felt that the most beautiful place she has ever been is her beloved state of Wisconsin. Many times, her family has joked that she could have been an ambassador for the state because of how she "talks it up".
After graduating Wabeno High School, Evelyn made her way to Milwaukee, where she fulfilled a dream of becoming a nurse. She met and married the love of her life, Edward, and they were blessed with 3 children. Evelyn now has 7 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great grandchildren.
Evelyn's hobbies and interests included reading, gardening, her pet cats, and painting pictures of the local landscape. She also loved to travel and enjoying going out to eat.
Evelyn has been living at Nu-Roc for over a year. Her grandmother had lived here, and Evelyn used to say that it was a wonderful place, and she wouldn't mind being part of that family. Now she is, and the staff and residents at Nu-Roc are happy to have her.
