Manor...Myth or Truth???

Hello everyone, Miss Manor is back!  I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, I know I certainly did shopping at the Manor’s Holiday Shopping Event.  I’m also gearing up for the Annual Holiday Bazaar this weekend too!

As I was thinking about the Manor, and what I could blog about next…it came to me out of the blue.  A game.  Let’s play a game.  It’s quite fun, and it’s called MYTH BUSTERS!  Here is how it is played.  I will make a statement and you get to guess if it is a TRUTH or a MYTH!  Simple.  Fun.  Easy.  Educational.  So, let’s get started!

First question… You have to be Catholic to be admitted to the ManorMYTH or TRUTH? 

If you guessed MYTH….ding, ding, ding, you are correct!  No, you do not have to be Catholic to be a resident in our home.  No applicant will be discriminated against based on color, creed, race, national origin, method of referral, source of payment or religion.


Question number two… You have to know the Pope to get into St. Joseph Manor. MYTH or TRUTH? 
           
If you guessed MYTH…you are again correct!  In reality, we provide compassionate, high quality care to people of all beliefs and traditions.  On average 73% of our residents are funded through the Medicaid program. Although, knowing the Pope would be pretty cool!


Last but certainly not least… There’s a waiting list at St. Joseph Manor. MYTH or TRUTH? 
           
MYTH! MYTH! MYTH!    We often have beds available, and we can often accommodate emergency placements.  Although, St. Joseph Manor was traditionally a long-term care home, times have changed!  We now provide short-term rehabilitation, respite, hospice and wound care, so residents are always coming and going!  If you don’t believe me…check out our video on YouTube!

Well, I truly enjoyed playing Myth Busters with you all.  Please feel free to post comments or questions and Miss Manor will get back to you in a Manor Minute!

Until next time,
Miss Manor
