7 P.M.: Tendercare resident deals with problems

Wanda Dague’s main job as president of Tendercare’s Resident Council is to deal with people’s “gripes.”

Dague, an 87-year-old Mecosta native, has been president of the Resident Council for almost a year. It is her third year living at the rehabilitation center and nursing home at
1524 Portabella Trail.

“Once a month, we go down and, if anyone has any grievances, we try to do something about it,” Dague said.

Common grievances include stolen items and missing laundry.

“I never have anything to gripe about,” Dague said.

When Dague is not keeping up on her executive duties, she likes to read, talk to her fellow residents and attend the various activities Tendercare puts on.

“They tell me I’m a people person,” Dague said. “I like to help people.”
