Construction Update
The new addition portion of the building project
is nearing completion. A letter is being sent to
all parties regarding plans for final room occupancies. During the remodel time period, there
will be a need for residents to move into a different room temporarily. This will start with 300
hallway, followed by 200 hallway and then 100.
Transition plans will also be indicated in mailed
letters. Please contact Emily with questions.

Introducing…. Cheryl Twedt, DON Cheryl Twedt is Fellowship Village’s new Director of Nursing. Cheryl
is thrilled to be back in Inwood, which is where her first nursing
experience in long term care began. She was the first DON of
Fellowship Village and has fond memories of the community who
came together to wash windows, clean, mow the grass, etc. to get
Fellowship Village off the ground. Because of Fellowship Village, she
grew to love working with the Residents and their families. Our
Residents who need a little help are the main purpose. Along with
the Residents comes the joy of knowing their families. Of course,
“our home” would not be a home without the staff. Cheryl has come
to realize and appreciate that there is not one person at FV whether
it be the nurse, CNA, housekeeper, office help, kitchen, laundry or
Administrator that is not important. A “Team Effort” makes FV the
home that it is.
Cheryl has been a nurse for more years than she cares to remember.
She has been married to Greg for 42 years. Daughter Denise is
married and lives in Minneapolis with her husband and children,
Ian (6) and Alena (3). Lori also lives in Minneapolis with her husband
and 6 week old daughter named Emma. Son, Brian is married and
lives three miles from Cheryl with his wife and 4 month old son Levi.
Welcome Back Cheryl! We’re so glad to have you back!
