                                 ______


                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 18, 1995
  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise today 
and pay tribute to an outstanding organization located in Ohio's Fifth 
Congressional District. On August 27, 1995, the Paradise Oaks Nursing 
and Rehabilitation Center will celebrate their 25th anniversary.
  The center serves residents from the counties of Putnam, Paulding, 
Allen, Van Wert, Defiance, Lucas, and Sandusky. Under the leadership of 
Administrator Deborah Russ, and the center's dedicated staff of 
professionals and volunteers, it has steadfastly served northwest Ohio 
for 25 years.
  Selecting a nursing facility for a loved one can be an extremely 
difficult decision for anyone. Paradise Oaks understands this and 
strives to make the decision-making process as smooth and gentle as 
possible.
  Mr. Speaker, anniversaries are a time to reflect on past 
accomplishments. They are also a time to look towards new horizons. The 
staff at Paradise Oaks has made it their responsibility to serve those 
in need by keeping pace with the ever increasing challenges facing 
mankind. I ask my colleagues to join me today in recognizing the 
achievements of the Paradise Oaks Quality Care Center and encouraging 
them to continue to uphold what has become the standard for service in 
Ohio.
