Perham Living has announced that Annette Riestenberg, RN, has been honored with the prestigious DAISY Award. This recognition highlights Annette’s compassion, wisdom, and desire to uplift others, including both residents and colleagues. 

The DAISY Award recognizes nurses who demonstrate extraordinary care and make a difference in their communities, and Riestenberg is a shining example of what this honor represents. Her dedication to the residents and her commitment to her team members have left an indelible mark on her peers and the residents she serves.

As stated in Riestenberg’s award nomination letter written by Stacey Rehm, Perham Living resident care manager, “She is always doing little things for the residents to make their life easier, better, and more comfortable. Whether it be shopping for alternative clothing, purchasing snacks items, or bringing in fresh cut flowers for someone who loved to garden as they prepare to leave this earth, she often spends her time and money to make these simple, small gestures a light in their lives.”

In addition to her patient care, Annette demonstrates an unwavering commitment to fostering growth among other nurses. “Annette is willing to teach and explain things to nurses to provide them with growth within the facility and their career,” Rehm included.

Riestenberg’s recognition as a DAISY Award recipient is a testament to her impact as a nurse, role model, and advocate for excellence in healthcare. She inspires those around her to strive for the highest standards of care, making the nursing profession and the Perham Living community proud.

Congratulations, Riestenberg, and thank you for embodying the heart and soul of nursing!
