The Quarters at Des Peres, a skilled nursing and rehab center in West St. Louis County, has achieved certification from Vohra Wound Physicians as a Center of Excellence for Wound Management. This certification in providing top-rated wound care is an outstanding achievement for The Quarters, as only 10% of Vohra’s skilled nursing facility partners reach this level of excellence.

“I am extremely proud that our facility has been recognized by the Vohra Center. It’s truly a well-deserved acknowledgement of the great work being performed by Jessica Happel, our Charge LPN, and our entire team. This certification represents our commitment to providing outstanding wound care and healing outcomes to our resident and patient populations.” – Dan Johnston, Administrator

Specialized Wound Care in St. Louis

Achieving wound care certification is an essential piece of the puzzle, but not the only factor for proper wound management. Admitting chronic wound patients in need of complex wound care also requires a facility to be fully-equipped with the essentials needed to offer specialized wound management programs. As long-term nursing facilities in St. Louis continue to provide more specialized services with complex ailments, the presence of a wound physician is essential for providing superior care.

Partnership for Excellence

The Quarters has partnered with Vohra Wound Physicians to bring physician-led bedside wound care to their skilled nursing facility. With this partnership, Vohra Wound Physicians visit The Quarters on a weekly basis to examine and treat residents with wounds or chronic skin conditions, including pressure and venous ulcers, arterial wounds, diabetic neuropathic wounds, and post-surgical wounds. Wound physicians work directly with each resident’s healthcare providers to ensure the highest level of excellence in wound care is being provided.

Kristin Pauley was born to care for others; she’s known this since the beginning of her career. This past Summer, in the midst of a covid-19 outbreak, the Oakland Community came to know this as well.

Answering the Call

July 20, 2020 is a day Kristin Pauley will never forget. While working as The Director of Rehabilitation at Oakland Manor Care Center, Kristin found herself facing a covid-19 outbreak. She called her husband and told him to pack a bag of her clothing and essentials, then bring it along with their family camper up to Oakland Manor.

The weeks leading up to July 20 were a blur for Kristin. In addition to still seeing her Physical Therapy patients, she was working around-the-clock to support her team in every way possible. From assisting the Oakland Nursing Staff and handling administrative duties, to doing endless loads of laundry, housekeeping, and dietary work, Kristin never failed to answer the call.

 “Twenty-seven days. That’s how long I lived in my camper, parked right outside Oakland Manor.” – Kristin Pauley

In This Together

Being apart from her home, husband, and two young children for nearly a month was draining. In fact, the most difficult part of Kristin’s journey was the heartbreaking feeling of being away from her family. Kristin saw her family as often as possible via video chat, keeping them with her every step of the way.

Though separated from her family, Kristin grew closer than ever to her team at Oakland Manor. They were in this together, they were a family.

While living in her camper, Kristin’s co-workers planned many surprises to keep her spirits lifted, including plenty of visits from furry friends. However, the best and biggest surprise of all was executed by Kristin’s husband, BJ, and the Oakland Manor BOM, KeNeisha: a surprise outdoor picnic.

Dressed head-to-toe in PPE, BJ waited by a picnic table with flowers, ready to hug his heroic bride.

“It was extremely exhausting… one of the hardest, but most rewarding, things I’ve ever done.” – Kristin Pauley

“Keeping spirits high can be a challenge when the residents are missing interaction with their loved ones. We’re always thinking up creative ways to keep everyone connected, while also staying safely apart,” explained Admissions Manager, Tom Harmsen.

Horsing Around at Adel Acres!

It was a picture-perfect day in May when the residents of Adel Acres were greeted with the sweetest surprise: Louw Stables was in their own backyard!

Owner of Louw Stables, Jennifer Louw, toured William the horse, Lucy the pony, and Kabous, the pony-riding-pup, around the entire exterior of Adel Acres. The trio stopped at every window, peeking in to greet each resident with a friendly “hello.” Residents were beyond thrilled to see such a fun and unexpected sight from their bedroom windows; tears of joy were shed by all!

“Sharing this surprise with our residents is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever gotten to be apart of. This was just so beautiful to see,” said Harmsen.

The Beauty of Animal Therapy

Under regular conditions, Adel Acres is a huge supporter of animal and pet therapy at their facility. Even without direct interaction, simply seeing an animal through a window releases those same “feel-good” endorphins, proven to help with stress, depression, and anxiety.

Another benefit of animal therapy is cognitive health. Seeing and interacting with an animal often brings up feelings of nostalgia and distant memories. In fact, resident Norma Webb, was so moved after seeing a pony appear in her bedroom window, she shared a sweet story from her childhood, and the many fond memories she had growing up around ponies and horses.

“I love horses and ponies! I rode a pony about two miles from our home to the pavement they had back then. And then, some of the kids would come down and pick me up to take me to school. I’d get off school, and then ride back on my pony!” – Norma Webb, Adel Acres Resident.

Norma Webb, sending a heartfelt “Thank You” to Earl May Garden Center & Louw Stables.

Giving Back to The Community

In addition to William, Lucy, and Kabous, Ms. Emily Gibson was also in attendance! Emily is the daughter of Jennifer Louw and is currently reigning as your 2020 Dallas County Iowa Miss United States Agriculture.

As a pillar of the community, Emily works with local businesses to give back to Dallas County. Keeping the residents of Adel Acres close to her heart, Emily reached out to The Earl May Garden Center to coordinate a generous donation: a potted plant for each and every resident to keep in their room.

It truly was a beautiful day at Adel Acres.

“While some days are better than others, many are struggling with feelings of loneliness and isolation right now. Simple, kind gestures – even the smallest ones – inspire feelings of hope and positivity. We’re just so thankful for our community,” said Harmsen.
