Welcome to Silver Springs Care Center
Raymond Hackling
Administrator
Dear Residents and Families:
As the Administrator, I would like to welcome you to Silver Springs Care Center. At our home, our philosophy is caring for the whole person and is reflected in the attitude and performance of every member of our team.
Silver Springs Care Center is honored to be consistently ranked as a Five Star nursing home by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS); have earned a Silver Quality Award from the American Health Care Association; be a contracted provider of long term care to our nation’s Veterans, and; count among our employees the Certified Dementia Practitioner of the Year for 2018.
My proudest moment as a Nursing Home Administrator was Silver Springs Care Center receiving the distinguished AHCA Silver Award. This award was validation that the entire team here at Silver do an excellent job taking care of our residents. Myself and Emily Gonzalez, RN, DNS were honored to accept this award on behalf of the approximately 170 employees who work hard every day here at Silver!
We strive to exceed your expectations and understand that to do so, we must closely partner and participate with you in your plan of care. Communication along the way will be extremely important. This will include a team meeting soon after your admission to review goals and concerns, interdisciplinary “Care Conferences”, discharge planning meetings and consistent communications between you, your family and your caregivers.
We are exceptionally proud of our specialized programs here at Silver Springs. Our Memory Care program is delivered in a safe, secured environment where residents are cared for by highly trained professionals under the direction of a full time Memory Care Program Director. Continue Reading
