The nursing staff is “family” and they work together as a team to not only take care of each individual’s health but also be their advocate. “The individuals we serve don’t know us as nurse, we’re just friends to them.” The nursing staff works together as a team with Managers and Direct Support to give the vulnerable population we serve the best care in addition to providing extensive staff training.
A lot has changed since Cindy started here as a staff nurse for Cuyahoga County in 2000. We only had 22 homes in 2 counties and a small nursing staff. Wayside now has 75 homes, serves 6 counties and has a nursing staff of 15. Throughout her journey at Wayside Cindy has discovered long lost family connections, grown in her career and developed lasting friendships. Thank you Cindy for sharing your story on what Our Lady of the Wayside means to you!
