Pine Haven Christian Home

Adds Registered Nurse Case Manager to Staff

Sheboygan Falls, WI -- Linda Voight, RN, has joined the staff of Pine Haven Christian Home in the position of RN Case Manager. Voight’s addition continues an emphasis on better serving the needs of Pine Haven residents.

In this newly created position, Voight will provide a variety of services as well as assist potential new residents and their families through the admission process. She will review care plans for each resident on a regular basis for medication compliance and changes in medical conditions. Twice annually Voight will conduct an in-depth review of each resident’s plan to assess dietary, activity, medical, psychological, and social needs.

“We recognize the trend that individuals are staying in their home as long as possible,” says Voight. “When they do move to an assisted living facility, their medical needs are typically more involved than those making the move just a few years ago. What makes my work at Pine Haven so rewarding is being a medical advocate for our family of residents.”

Voight’s education and experience make her a perfect fit for this position. She has been in the medical field in the Sheboygan County area for the last thirty years. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from the University of

Wisconsin - Oshkosh. She has worked at St. Nicholas Hospital in the orthopedic and vascular areas, Greendale Health Care Center as a nursing supervisor, St. Luke’s Rehabilitation Unit within Memorial Hospital, the Visiting Nurse Association, for neurologist Dr. Kunkel, and at Meadowview Nursing Home.

In addition to her new role at Pine Haven, Voight also continues to coordinate the area’s multiple sclerosis support group that meets monthly in the Visiting Nurse

Association’s Heritage room.

Pine Haven Christian Home was opened in 1950 and expanded in 1992 to the

current size of 71 residents in the nursing home and 140 residents in the assisted living facility. While supported by eighteen local churches, residents of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome. Pine Haven’s mission is to provide quality, compassionate care in a Christian environment.
