Why he loves working at SSC:

SSC represents everything that I have always thought was possible in long-term care but had never found anywhere else:  a beautiful setting, a ‘state of the art’ facility, all private rooms, and most importantly, the very best senior care and services provided by an outstanding team of dedicated caregivers.  What else could you ask for?

One favorite thing about Sheboygan County:

My favorite thing about Sheboygan County is that it is big and dynamic enough to have great quality of life (restaurants, entertainment, parks, etc) but still feels like a small town where everyone knows and looks out for each other.
