COVID-19 Second Booster Dose
The CDC recently released a recommendation for a second COVID-19 booster dose for certain persons. Specifically, a second mRNA booster dose could benefit people ages 50 years and older, as they are at increased risk for severe COVID-19. People ages 50 years and older may choose to receive a second booster dose, if it has been at least 4 months after the first booster. We recommend that appropriate residents receive their second booster dose. The COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer or Moderna) are available. Please let your physician or nurse know right away if you or your loved one would like to receive the second booster.

Dr. Kica
Medical DirectorI initially had the opportunity to work at the Greenwood Center a bit over two years ago. It was then that I first noticed the great care patients received. When the opportunity to become the Medical Director at the Greenwood Center presented itself, I did not hesitate to accept the position. My first thoughts on the center have been reaffirmed. Residents are treated with care, compassion and respect. The last 8 months have been rather difficult ones, at best. We've been faced with many challenges as well as heartbreak in the midst of the COVID Pandemic. Additionally there's been much confusion about the unknown. Guidance and reasoning have served to calm and carry the day. Working together we've managed to maintain our resolve to provide the best care to our residents.

Respectful staff and good food
I recently had foot surgery and came to the Greenwood Center for short term rehab. The staff understood my needs. Everyone was prompt and treated me with respect. The food was good and the place was clean.
