First Security Foundation Donates $5,000 to Riceville Family Care & Therapy Center for Upgrades

The Riceville Family Care & Therapy Center is a community-owned, nonprofit nursing facility, and they’ve proudly served the Riceville community since 1972. Winning multiple awards, the facility is a 4-star Nursing Home, rated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. They are committed to continuous improvement and excellence, and the Riceville Family Care & Therapy Center upholds this commitment with their proposed upgrades.

The facility will be replacing the worn and outdated carpeting in its living room and office areas. This upgrade will increase employee and resident safety by eliminating falling or tripping hazards, improve aesthetics, and contribute to healthier conditions through allergen reduction.

Riceville Family Care & Therapy Center is partnering with D & E Carpet Sales, Inc., a locally owned business in Riceville, to supply and install the new commercial-grade flooring.

“Supporting a local vendor was important to us,” staff noted. “We’re not only improving our facility—we’re investing back into our community.”

The total project cost is $10,175.35, with additional funding being sought to fully complete the initiative. The First Security Foundation is proud to donate $5,000 to the Riceville Family Care & Therapy Center for their efforts.

First Security employee and Riceville resident Beth Hobson said, “Riceville Family Care & Therapy Center is such a pillar of our community. Without its compassion, patients and their families would be without care. Investing in our community is very rewarding.”
