July 2011 STARS Winner: Katheen Taylor

The July Re-Creative Resources Inc. STARS winner is Ms. Kathleen Taylor. Kathleen, otherwise known as Mimi, is the Activity Director at Good Shepherd Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Jaffery, New Hampshire. Last year Mimi won the New Hampshire Healthcare Association’s Star Award for her work with the elders in Seniors Aid NH. Seniors Aide NH is a group of elders in assisted living and long term care that work to raise money for NH Food Banks and creates awareness in legislature that directly affects the elderly. She currently works with her company’s home office on a committee to change the entire view and process of care planning to reflect resident centered care and she is also on a committee to identify and enhance residents' spirituality in more than just faith-based ways. Mimi has also provided articles for the Re-Creative Resources’ Activity Swap Meet Blog and proves to organize and facilitate creative and unique programming!

The STARS Award (Superior Therapeutic Activity and Recreation Services) will feature outstanding Activity and Recreation professionals and practitioners. Recipients of the STARS Award will receive a certificate and a mention in the Rec-Room and an induction into the Hall of STARS on the Re-Creative Resources Inc website. If you know of anyone that should be featured, please let me know!
