Rolling Fields Elder Care Named Top Nursing Home by Newsweek

Rolling Fields Elder Care Community by Heritage in Conneautville, PA ranks among the top nursing homes in America, according to a recent report from Newsweek.

The publication identified the Best Nursing Homes for 2019-2020 and also released the nursing home finder by ranking more than 15,000 homes across the nation.

Tonya Moyer, Rolling Fields Interim Administrator, said the recognition was due to the hard work and dedication of all of the Care Partners at Rolling Fields.

“The reason why (our Care Partners) are here is because they love our Elders,” Moyer said. “They’re here because of a calling, (and) that feeling permeates the organization. We do what’s right for the Elder, first and foremost.”

The achievement of being recognized as one of the Best Nursing Homes of 2019-2020 is a reflection of the work going on each day, Mark Smeltzer, Heritage regional manager of skilled nursing operations, shared.

“I’m proud of the Care Partners here and how their hard work every day embodies the mission, vision, and values that Heritage has at all of our locations” Smeltzer stated.“Heritage is proud to come alongside Rolling Fields as they live out the Heritage motto “Caring. It’s Our Calling” every single day.

Sleep in the Elderly: What is Normal?

If you are a caregiver for a senior, or even just have elderly people in your life, you may wonder about their sleeping habits. It sometimes seems that the elderly don’t need as much sleep as the average person. You may feel like the elderly in your life are sleeping a lot, or sleeping too much during the day. Unfortunately when it comes to sleep in the elderly, what is normal may not necessarily be what is healthy. Excessive sleep or daytime sleeping in the elderly are all related to sleep disorders and can be helped. How Many Hours of Sleep Does an Elderly Person Need?
