Esther Campbell
Joseph Floyd Manor (JFM), a 13 story brick-veneer local landmark,
houses 156 elderly and disabled persons, as well as Mrs. Esther Campbell,
a 90 year old retired nurse and a care giver throughout her life. When
a local meal on wheels program expanded a year ago, it no longer had
the staff for delivering meals to JFM’s individual apartments. Mrs.
Campbell agreed that she would deliver the meals to the apartments.
Delivering the meals, permits her to notice when people are ill or in
need of assistance. She then notified the Public Housing Director, who
is located within JFM, and she sees to it that the tenant receives the
needed help or referrals. Mrs. Campbell acknowledges that all of the
residents at JFM co-exist as one big happy family and they try to take
care of one another.
