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.

It is with great pleasure that Nu-Roc Community Healthcare announces its March Resident of the Month, Edith Bradle. If you meet Edith, you can’t help but becoming her friend. She always has a kind word for everyone, and no visit to her home was complete without a cup of cocoa. Edith is very caring and if ever somebody needed help, she was there.
Edith’s hobbies include knitting, crocheting, and doing macramé. Her true passion, though, is animals. She loves them all. Edith doted on her pet cats; Mr. B, Tiger, and Kitty. If a stray found its way to her neighborhood, she just had to take care of it.
Crandon has always been Edith’s home. She was born there, the youngest of 4 sisters. She had a large family herself, raising 7 children. Edith spent some time living in Milwaukee and South Carolina, but was always anxious to return to Crandon.
In addition to being a friend to all, Edith was also a very hard worker. She held various jobs over the years but her favorite was working in a nursing home. She was a nurse’s aide and, later, a cook. Upon her retirement, Edith had worked her way up to Kitchen Manager.
Congratulations, Edith, on this honor. We are glad to have you with us.
