Information About Us The History of Moore Elderly Care Judy is a graduate from Plainview High School in Minnesota.  She attended Minnesota Bible College, and RCTC working towards an Associates degree in Liberal Arts.  She received her degree in Nursing from St. Mary's school of practical nursing at St. Mary's Hospital which is now affilliated with the Mayo Clinic.  Judy worked at St. Mary's Hospital for 12 years as an LPN on a neurological/surgical floor caring for brain injured, stroke, tumors, annuerisms, seizures, etc.  Judy also has experience in psychiatric care where she received a psychiatric technician certificate from the Rochester State Hospital where she worked on a surgical floor caring for a variety of medial, surgical, and psychologically impaired patients.  Judy got her start in Adult Foster Care by caring for her mother Edith in her home. Edith had a stroke and became totally dependant on others for her care. Judy cared for her mother for 4 years while continuing her education in nursing. When her mother passed away, she felt a void in her life as she went to work for Taren Coghill taking care of her brain injured husband, Dick. An employee working for Taren suggested becoming an Adult Foster Care Provider. Judy looked into the option and decided that doing Adult Foster Care would work for her.  Then the journey of Foster Care began. Judy has done a full circle in life. When she was 15 years old, she worked for her Aunt Daisy at her Manchester Nursing Home in Winona, MN which was very simular to what we call Adult Foster Care. After all the years of other employment, she has found herself doing the same thing she did when she was 15. Judy has two daughters and one granddaughter so her Adult Foster Care Home is a family affair. Sara worked with Judy at Moore Elderly Care for 5 years before opening her own adult foster care home right across the street. She has an associates degree in science as a Human Services Specialist. She currently lives at her Adult Foster Care Home "Rysellas" and has 3 ladies she cares for.  Susan works for Judy full time as well, but also works a part time job as a Disk Jockey on Rochester's Y105 radio station. Susan's daughter Anna enjoys entertaining the Resident's with activities and helping out however she can.

The Chamber of Commerce came out to Moore Elderly Care to help celebrate a milestone for one of our Residents, Ida, who had her hundreth birthday. She cut a ribbon to mark the milestone and cut 10 balloons loose. Each balloon symbolized 10 years of her life. The smile we saw on her face that day was irreplaceable.     Moore Elderly Care is located off County Road 22, and Hwy. 14 W in Country Club Manor. Both Moore Elderly Care, and Rysella's are on 8 1/2 St. NW located near the Kwik Trip.
