Demolition of the former Juliette Manor nursing home, and prior site of the original hospital in Berlin at 169 E. Huron Street, will begin next month said John Gijsen, director of facilities management-system locations for ThedaCare. “This building is an important part of the history of the community; but due to its age and specialized use, it is more cost effective to remove the building than repurpose the facility.”

As caregivers, it is vital that we listen to our parents, not our biological parents, but those of our pediatric patients, and especially so with children with special needs.
April 24, 2015, is a day that Donald and Edna Nadler won’t soon forget. Spring was in the air, and the husband and wife duo were in their familiar place, outside working in the yard and by the lake. Lifelong Lake Winnebago residents, Don, 83, and Edna, 81, have enjoyed living the lake life. Whether it be maintaining their own yard (Edna cuts the grass and Don does the trimming), working in their big garden, or sturgeon spearing, with each having their own ice shack, they simply enjoy every part of lake living.
