Pine Haven Offers Specialized Wound Care

Sheboygan Falls, WI --  Barb TeStroete, RN, has been certified by the National Alliance of Wound Care to offer specialized wound care for the residents of Pine Haven Christian Home. TeStroete attended an intense training course sponsored by the Wound Care Education Institute. The course covered all aspects of wound care including diagnosis, assessment, nutrition, mobility, and treatment.         

This certification of TeStroete is another example of the commitment Pine Haven has to continue to offer high quality care. As the Assistant Director of Nursing at Pine Haven, TeStroete’s primary focus is to educate the staff on awareness of the needs of the residents concerning skin care. By paying close attention to resident’s skin care, the Pine Haven staff can help avoid the health problems associated with skin deterioration. If a resident does develop a wound, TeStroete is now expertly trained and  available to provide care in a timely and coordinated manner.

“Like all our staff, Barb has a unique concern for our residents,” said Jeff Jenkins, Administrator at Pine Haven. “She worked hard to gain the certification for the benefit of our residents. She will be available daily as the need arises to address the important issues of wound care.”

Pine Haven was opened in 1950 and expanded in 1992 to the current size of 71 residents in the nursing home wing and 140 residents in the residential center wing. Although they are supported by eighteen local churches, all residents are welcome. Pine Haven focuses on providing high quality care in a Christian environment.
