What differentiates one skilled nursing & rehabilitation center from another? The answer is... the people who work and reside there! The people set the tone, the atmosphere, and the expectations. At The Laurels of Goshen, we take great pride in ensuring that everyone feels like part of our family and that they are treated as special "guests" in our home.
The Laurels of Goshen employs a team of highly qualified medical professionals, including a Medical Director, Registered Nurses, Restorative Care Nurses, a Wound Care Nurse, state tested Certified Nursing Assistants, Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and a Speech Therapist. Our on-site Rehab, Dietary, Social Work, and Activities departments provide personalized and compassionate care to each guest. From the moment you walk through the front doors, the warmth and caring of the staff will begin to gain your trust and confidence, as they strive to exceed your expectations.
Each Team Member takes great pride in portraying "The Laurel Way of Caring", as they strive for excellence in providing only the highest standard of care and services to every guest, and to every family member and visitor.

Jill Vandewalle
Director of Marketing
Jill joined The Laurels of Goshen as director of marketing in March 2021. She is commitment to ensuring all elders and guests have a great experience, and she goes to great lengths to always
"exceed expectations".
Jill began her career in 1990 with a focus on oncology and hospice. In 2007, she became a hospice liaison and found her passion in helping others navigate the healthcare system with a life-limiting diagnosis. Still wanting to make a difference, she discovered working in a skilled nursing facility was a great way to continue to advocate for those not able to advocate for themselves.
Jill enjoys being active in her community and is a board member of the local Elk’s Lodge, where she enjoys raising money for veterans, cancer research, and scholarships for local youth. She also loves to cook, bake, and spend with her husband, two sons, and grandson.
