I came across a good quote that would serve as an example of the unique
characteristics and motivation needed in order to maintain professional
excellence in non – profit and religious – based nursing homes. This was from a
pamphlet that stated:
“The Lutheran Home for the Aging has been blessed from its inception with
insightful leadership, a committed staff, and a supportive Christian community.
By the grace of God, we look to the continued dedication of those resources to
the tasks ahead” (”Lutheran Home for the Aging” 8).
