Sidney Health Center Extended Care recently named Peggy Zadow the 2022 Resident of the Year. Peggy was honored at a celebration on Tuesday, February 28 in the dining room at Extended Care. Family, friends, residents and staff gathered to celebrate the occasion with a brief program including a cake in her honor and refreshments.
Peggy joined the Extended Care family in January 2021 and has always had such a great sense of humor and bright smile. The staff and residents love having her around. She was born and raised in Sidney, MT alongside her two brothers and two sisters. Through the years, she has been blessed with one child, three grandchildren and five great grandchildren. Peggy worked at the sale barn for 50+ years until retirement.
Her family confirmed that she is a social butterfly, a wise person with a wealth of knowledge, quick witted and always a delight to be around. Known to the family as one of the strongest people they know, to whom they look up to and are proud of, noting, “Peggy couldn’t be more deserving as Resident of the Year.”
Through quality nursing care, activities, self-improvement, and friendships, Extended Care proves there is more to aging than growing old. The goal is to show others how companion animals, the opportunity to care for other living things, and the variety and spontaneity that mark an enlivened environment can succeed where pills and therapies fail. In short, Sidney Health Center Extended Care believes:
Aging is a natural and normal life process
Aging should not limit a person's right to experience life to its fullest
People should be able to live their life at their highest level of health, independence, and well-being
Often, people feel more comfortable in surroundings that meet their individual needs for friendships and activities, as well as safety. In striving to meet each individual's unique and specific needs, Extended Care offers specialized environments with specialized staff.
