LENOIR, NC (April 7, 2024) ⇒ AMOREM’s dietary team received a perfect score of 100 during a surprise inspection from the Environmental Health Division of Caldwell County in March.
The surprise inspection included a new, 15-minute, training session in which the trainee underwent a series of questions and demonstrations. Lori Settlemyre, an AMOREM dietary specialist, performed these demonstrations flawlessly during the surprise inspection.
“Lori did an excellent job participating in this new procedure,” says Director of Facility Services Jeanna Wilson, “Hats off to our AMOREM dietary team!”
The Environmental Health Division of Caldwell County works to ensure that residents of Caldwell County have a clean and healthful environment in which to live, work and play. AMOREM is honored to be a positive contribution to the counties, and surrounding counties, health and well-being.
“This was fantastic news to receive,” says AMOREM Interim CEO Edie Riddlespurger, “It is such a wonderful accomplishment by our dietary team who work so hard every single day to help us meet our mission.”
AMOREM’s mission is to provide quality, thoughtful, loving care to patients and support to their families and offer education and grief support to communities served.
