SHELLY KEHRLE-SULSER

Executive Editor

Kellogg Co. process engineer

Glenn Quilan, 68, retired in 2018

having been diagnosed with multiple

sclerosis 20 years ago.

At that time, he was still able to

drive and function normally but

when the pandemic of 2020 hit, his

world got smaller and he found him-

self mostly inactive and bored.

That led to more decline in his

physical and cognitive abilities and

increased care taking for his wife,

Debra “Debbie” Quilan.

But earlier this year, Debra, learned

that they could help Glenn restore his

social opportunities and at the same

time he could also access some new

faces, meals, activities and medical

care, giving him what he needs and

what she needs.

“They offer a whirlpool bath and

it’s very secure, safe, he feels very

safe,” said Debbie. “And, it’s help-

ful because it’s scary for me at home

to give him a shower because of his

mobility. It’s a nice feature.”

Debbie Quilan was talking about

the Marian E. Burch Adult Day Care

and Rehabilitation Services that,

though it was temporarily closed

during the COVID-19 pandemic,

reopened in December of 2022.

“I feel Marian Burch has been

an immense blessing,” she said,

“because they have an option for him

to get out and do different things and

then I have quiet time. Otherwise,

he’s kinda home 24/7. We don’t

have any family around the area.”

Now with 50 clients, who can

attend as often or as seldom as they

want, the department of the Calhoun

County Medical Care Facility offers

free transportation that clients have

the option to use or not use.

The facility, complete with physi-

cal rehabilitation room, activities

rooms, nurses office, courtyard, din-

ing room, respite rooms and more,

has room for more clients, more vol-

unteers and more staff.

To showcase everything the depart-

ment has to offer, there will be a

public open house Sept. 19 starting

at 1 p.m.

Adult Day Care Services Week

outlet and provides respite for his

Annually, the third week of

September is recognized nationally

as Adult Day Care Services Week,

which was proclaimed on Sept. 27,
