Residents enjoy new fish tank
Courtney Stangle, human resource director and accounting assistant, is celebrating her one-year anniversary of working at Presbyterian Manor and she’s already made a big impact on the residents here through a generous gift.
“My husband, Jeremy, and I are fish people. We had an extra tank and supplies, so we decided to bring it up here for residents to enjoy. There’s a bird cage upstairs, and we wanted something downstairs for residents to enjoy, too. I do the daily upkeep, make sure the filters are good, feed the fish, etc.,” said Courtney. Residents have already given Courtney a great reaction to the tank, and especially like the colorful fish featured.
Meet new activity director Jaclyn Wertz
Jaclyn Wertz began her career at Presbyterian Manor as a CNA in November 2013, but she has recently made the switch to being Activity Director. She’s excited about the change and is looking forward to trying many new ideas with residents as well as continuing favorite traditions.
Prior to working at Presbyterian Manor, she worked at a licensed daycare in Altamont. She also has her own photography business, called In The Moment Photography. Jaclyn got her degree from Labette County High School in 2014, and is continuing her education at Labette Community College.
“Whenever we add a new fish, they just rave about it,” said Courtney. “We have African Cichlids, which are a nice bright freshwater alternative to the more ornate saltwater fish. We have three electric blue, a white, and an orange with black spots. They’re beautiful. We also have an algae eater, a plecostomus, to help us keep the tank clean.”
Courtney and her husband plan on donating one more tank to Presbyterian Manor soon.
The fish tank donated by Courtney Stangle is a big hit on first floor.
