Take a Peek Inside our Home
Welcome to National Skilled Nursing Care Week, and welcome to our Home! During this week, which celebrates nursing homes and the important work they do in caring for older people, we would like to give you a closer look at our home and the people who live and work here. Check back often for daily blogs highlighting different components of our home!
Today we would like to introduce some of our employees. It takes a lot to keep a home this size running, and special people who not only work hard to accomplish their tasks every day, but who go the extra mile to make it a happy home for our Residents. We are grateful for every one of our employees, and wish we could highlight them all, but here is a small sampling.
Working with the elderly can be a very fulfilling career, but one that is often overlooked by those entering the workforce or changing jobs. We asked some of our employees what that like about working here, and this is what they had to say:
Angel started here as a receptionist 3 months ago. “I like that I can help our Residents communicate with their loved ones, and help the staff too. A lot of information comes through the front desk that affects the whole home. I like to help things run smoothly.”
Gaby, our activities director, has worked here for 8 years. “I like how this Home has a very welcoming atmosphere, and how the layout of the building itself is open and light, and makes it easy to offer the residents opportunities to stay active in both mind and body. It’s also easy for them to interact here with their families that come visit.”
Kate has worked in Resident accounts for 5 1/2 years. She said, “I really like getting to know the Residents and their families.”
l-r Nicole (CNA), Diamond (CNA), and Michelle (LPN) work hands-on caring for our Residents. Their work really impacts the daily lives of our residents. What do they like most about their jobs, and what has kept them here for 8 years, 2 years, and 3 1/2 years? “The Residents!” they all answered at once.
Rick, who has been part of the housekeeping team for more than 8 years, likes the nice people that he works with.
