Topeka Presbyterian Manor shares customer service survey responses

Local artists among Art is Ageless® masterpiece level winners

Local artists in Topeka Presbyterian Manor’s annual Art is Ageless® juried competition will be featured in the 2024 Art is Ageless calendar produced by PMMA (Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America®).

“Forever American,” a Quilting entry by Peggy Shrewsbury, will appear in the calendar when it is released this fall.

Works by local winners are automatically entered into a masterpiece level competition with winning art from 14 other PMMA® communities. More than 190 entries were received for this year’s masterpiece competition. The winners are featured in the Art is Ageless

calendar with pull-out postcards and greeting cards.

“Jewelry Sculpture Collection,” a Sculpture/3-D entry by Patricia Morse, will be included in the calendar’s honorable mention gallery.

“We are honored to exhibit artwork by seniors,” said Danica Loftin, sales director. “Art is Ageless is unique in featuring only the works of senior artists.

Topeka Presbyterian Manor continues to seek customer feedback through monthly telephone surveys. Each month, residents and their representatives are randomly selected to participate in telephone satisfaction surveys conducted by Pinnacle Quality Insight.

The graphic highlights recent survey results. All scores are given on a 5-point scale, with 5 being the highest score and 1 the lowest score. Between July 2022 and June 2023, Topeka Presbyterian Manor residents and their families gave the community high scores for demonstrating dignity and respect, safety and security, and the quality of the food.

We greatly value the opinions of our residents and their representatives about the care and services we provide, and we encourage them to participate honestly when contacted by Pinnacle Quality Insight. All state and federal confidentiality laws are met in Pinnacle’s service. u
