Safety update Presbyterian Manor Families of Residents, and Visitors,
For Jeannine Koen, LPN, Farmington Presbyterian Manor is all about family
Keeping our residents and staff healthy is a top priority for PMMA (Presbyterian Manors of MidAmerica). We fully understand health care workers and seniors are at a higher risk of experiencing serious infections, so our staff members are doing their very best to stay current on every change that is occurring in this rapidly changing environment.
“I’m from Farmington and have lived here most of my life. I’m the oldest of eight girls, and I’ve always been a caretaker. My mother-in-law and father-in-law both lived here. When my mother-in-law was ill and on dialysis, that is what took me into nursing. I PRN’d here when I first got out of nursing school. Then I went away for a while, came back and have been here ever since,” said Jeannine.
On March 13, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced strict in-person visitation guidelines for senior health care communities. All PMMA communities are enforcing limited access for in-person visitation.

Family is what brought Jeannine Koen to Farmington Presbyterian Manor, and it’s what makes her stay after almost a decade.
Nine years later, Jeannine continues to connect with residents and enjoys the extended family she’s gained over the years. “I just love my job. Presbyterian Manor is a good place to work. I get enjoyment out of sitting down and listening to the residents’ history. They are so interesting. I love taking care of them. You feel like you’re making a difference in their lives when you come in. You become one KOEN - continued on page 2
