Schoenbrunn Healthcare of New Philadelphia would like to introduce our new owner, Joel Sausen. In October, 2001, Sausen, a third generation care giver, added Schoenbrunn Healthcare Care Center to his family's resume of top notch care facilities throughout northeastern Ohio. A Cleveland native, Joel Sausen is anxious to become a contributing piece of our area's health and nursing care industry. "Our number one goal is to take care of our residents, followed closely, by taking care of our employees." Sausen stated upon taking ownership of the Care Center.

Along with new ownership, Schoenbrunn Healthcare plans to renovate throughout the interior and exterior of the building. This includes additional lighting throughout the facility as well as cosmetic changes to the exterior of the Care Center. "We will hold an open house later this year when the changes are complete. I hope everyone in our community will take notice of this wonderful facility, if they haven't already." Sausen said.

Changes to Schoenbrunn Healthcare will not include personnel. "There is no need to make changes when you have the most educated, experienced, and highly recruited staff working for you." Sausen stated. "My goal is not to take away from Schoenbrunn Healthcare, only to add additional professionals to this facility". Many people are unaware of the experience, knowledge and community leaders we have at Schoenbrunn Healthcare.

New additions to Schoenbrunn Healthcare include Cristin Connor, Marketing Director and Darla Carlisle, Activities Director. Connor, a Canton native, will be heading up efforts to bring Schoenbrunn Healthcare Center to the surrounding community as well as maintaining and improving current relations. She will also serve as the direct contact for Admission information. Carlisle, a New Philadelphia native plans to bring fresh new ideas and a local interest to her new residents at Schoenbrunn Healthcare. She brings years of activities experience and community involvement to the activities department at Schoenbrunn Healthcare Care Center.
