Kudos & Awards
Georgia Crump Certified Nursing Assistant Award
Roger Edmonds Recipient of the 2011 Georgia Crump Certified Nursing Assistant Award
Asheville, NC – Roger Edmonds, a certified nursing assistant from Madison Health and Rehabilitation in Mars Hill, was honored with the Georgia Crump Certified Nursing Assistant Recognition Award at the 12th Annual WNC Nursing Assistant Conference on October 5, 2011.
The award, including a plaque and monetary stipend, is presented annually and was established by MemoryCare to honor nursing assistants for the heroic work they do every day. Those nominating this year’s recipient say that Mr. Edmonds is “trusted by all our residents. He is the one who can calm a resident during an anxious period, who can encourage a resident to eat when others are unable, who can help an individual feel as though they were ‘home’ even though they are living in a nursing home…he refers to his work as his ‘calling’ in life.”
