Aberdeen Village resident recalls a world of experience

Our new neighbor Aileen Moise came to Aberdeen Village in October, and despite moving many times throughout her time as a military wife, she says there are still boxes waiting to be unpacked.

“I’ve not had time to get very involved in everything,” she said. “But I plan to, if I can take time away from unpacking. I’m going to be doing this for a year I’m afraid.”

Aileen was born and raised in New York City. She attended the school of art and science at NYU and went to work as a draftsman for Consolidated Edison. After about six years, she left to work as a flight attendant for Eastern Airlines. “I liked it very much,” she said. “We served meals with silverware and china. It was a classy job. Not as rushed as it is now.” That was also how she met her husband, Bob, a U.S. Air Force pilot stationed in San Antonio, Texas.

The U.S. News and World Report list uses information from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the government agency that sets and enforces standards for nursing homes.

U.S. News now uses the CMS star rating for staffing rather than the overall star rating to determine which communities are given the High Performing designation. This decision reflects expert opinion on the importance of staffing in quality of care, as well as the availability since April 2018 of more accurate data on nurse staffing levels in each community or center.
