NJANPHA Presents Professional of the Year Award to Jeanine M. Reilly,
Executive Director Broadway House for Continuing Care, Newark

The New Jersey Association of Non-Profit Homes for the Aging (NJANPHA) is pleased to recognize Jeanine M. Reilly, RNC, LNHA, Executive Director of Broadway House for Continuing Care, as the recipient of NJANPHA’s 2004 Professional of the Year Award on behalf of her commitment and care of the elderly and the infirm.

Jeanine has devoted her professional career to expert care in the nursing home setting as a certified Gerontological Nurse, a Nursing Educator, Director of Health Maintenance and Monitoring, and Administrator.

Over the past three years she has transformed New Jersey’s only HIV/AIDS specialized nursing care facility into a model of effective and compassionate care for one of healthcare’s most challenging populations. She spearheaded an aggressive professionalization, service expansion, and employee support program to bring staff competencies to state-of-the-art in HIV/AIDS care and treatments with patient-centered care as its top goal.

She developed the 2004 Long Term Care Lecture series, half-day training sessions for nursing home staff that focused on competencies, protocols and other innovations developed at Broadway House. According to Caroline Jacobus, Director of Community Outreach at Broadway House, “Jeanine is a compassionate and skilled caregiver whose respect for each colleague and patients is matched by her drive to support their efforts to reach their full potential.”

NJANPHA’s Professional of the Year Award was created in 1999 to recognize an individual in a managerial, supervisory or leadership position who through their actions has inspired and motivated staff, volunteers, residents and others. In recognition of her outstanding record of achievement in resident care we are pleased to recognize Jeanine M. Reilly, RNC, LNHA, Executive Director of Broadway House for Continuing Care, as the recipient of NJANPHA’s 2004 Professional of the Year. The award was presented on Thursday, June 3, 2004, at NJANPHA’s Annual Meeting in Atlantic City, NJ.
