Jan Scholke Named Director of New Prairie Crossing
Residential Center Apartment Complex
Sheboygan Falls, WI -- Jan Scholke has
joined Prairie Crossing as the director. Bringing an extensive nursing
background to her new role, Scholke will oversee the operations of this new
Pine Haven development.
Throughout
her 30 plus year nursing career, Scholke has held a variety of management
positions. One of her focuses has been in the area of pain management. She
continues to be active in a number of organizations that focus on pain as an
issue. Scholke is a published author in “Approaches to Pain Management, An
Essential Guide for Clinical Leaders,” a Joint Commission publication.
Most recently Scholke worked in
Occupational Health Services, where she focused on Corporate Wellness and
Community Education for St. Nicholas Hospital. In that position she worked
with both the community and local industries throughout the area.
Scholke, a registered nurse, earned a
bachelor of science degree in nursing from Marian College in Fond du Lac,
WI, and an associate of applied science in nursing at Lake Superior State
College in Sault Ste. Marie, MI.
As director of Prairie Crossing,
Scholke’s early efforts will focus on overseeing the final construction,
contacting potential new residents, and providing tours and additional
information. When the facility is opened, her ongoing work will focus on
the day-to-day operations of maintaining a high quality living environment
and on resident interaction.
Prairie Crossing, a
40-unit assisted living apartment complex in a senior community, is targeted
to open this June. Four apartment sizes ranging from 542 to 960 square feet
will be available and each include a full kitchen. Monthly services,
including meals, are provided and residents can customize any additional
services they desire. For more information call 467-2401, ext. 101.
