March is Social Work Month, a time to honor the profession's primary mission. To celebrate, we are proud to highlight members of the incredible team of social workers at the Wisconsin Veterans Home at Chippewa Falls.

Today, meet Kayla Buhrmann.

Kayla, a Certified Advanced Practice Social Worker, has been part of the social work team at the Chippewa Falls Home for a year now, and to her “it’s been such a rewarding journey." What Kayla appreciates most about working at the Chippewa Falls Home is “the opportunity to connect with our members—there’s nothing better than meaningful conversations and being able to support them in ways that truly matter. I’m grateful to be part of a team that makes a difference!”

Outside of work, Kayla is a proud dog parent to two dogs who she says “definitely keeps life entertaining.” Kayla's family has military connections – one that includes a pretty special love story. “My grandparents met in the Air Force and were married for 69 wonderful years, which continues to inspire me every day.”

Thank you, Kayla, for all your efforts in support of our Veterans Home at Chippewa Falls!

Happy National Registered Dietitian Day! 🥗

In skilled nursing, food is more than just a meal — it’s comfort, connection, and sometimes the highlight of the day. Our Registered Dietitian, Kaitlyn, works behind the scenes with our culinary team to make sure our veterans receive the nutrition they need while still enjoying the foods they love. Whether it’s making sure the mashed potatoes are just right, the coffee keeps flowing, or that slice of pie fits into the plan, our culinary team balances health with happiness every single day.

Here's a little information about Kaitlyn!

"Hello! I was born and raised in Eau Claire. I currently reside in Altoona with my husband, Matthew, and stepdaughter, Aubrielle. Outside of work, I enjoy lifting weights, practicing yoga, traveling and spending time outside.

I received my bachelor's degree in dietetics from UW-Stout, and a master's degree in applied exercise science with a sports nutrition emphasis from Concordia University Chicago."

Today we thank our incredible Registered Dietitian, Kaitlyn, for bringing both science and heart to the table for our veterans. 🍽️

Happy Team Member Appreciation Day!

This week, we celebrated our incredible staff with a lighthearted duck hunt, hiding small ducks throughout the care community for team members to find with prizes! It brought smiles, laughter, and a little friendly competition to the day. 🦆

While the activity was fun, the message behind it is very meaningful. Every day, our team provides compassionate, dedicated care to the veterans who call our care community home. Their commitment, professionalism, and respect for those who have served our country make a difference in the lives of our veterans and their families.

To our outstanding team members—thank you for the care, dignity, and support you provide to our veterans each and every day. We appreciate you and are proud to serve alongside you!

Last week we had the incredible privilege & honor of celebrating one of our WWII veterans turning 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ years old. 🎉🇺🇸

One hundred years. A full century of life, history, resilience, and change.

Allen “Al” Stai, born in Eau Claire and a veteran of the U.S. Army Air Corps, was joined at the Veterans Home with balloons and cake with his friends, family and loved ones to celebrate his centennial birthday.

Al was also presented a certificate of appreciation from the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary James Bond in recognition of this remarkable milestone and for being a valued member of the Wisconsin Veterans Home at Chippewa Falls.

When asked what Al's secret to his longevity is, he says, “A good clean life. Just being with good, honest people and trying to do what's right.”

During his time in the military, he said worked in a supply warehouse where they gave food out to the mess halls. He served in Japan twice and once in Korea.

After leaving the military, he worked as an elementary school principal and his wife was an elementary teacher. He has three children, five grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. One of Al's favorite memories is when his family would pack into their motorhome and took family vacations together.

Al loves fishing. He has traveled to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Mexico, and Canada. One of his favorite things to do at the Home is playing cards, especially cribbage.

To reach 100 years is remarkable. To reach 100 after a lifetime of service, strength, and perseverance is extraordinary.

Happy 100th birthday, Al — and thank you for your service and for the century of wisdom you carry. ❤️
