Residents
In what ways do your residents inspire you?
I love strong, positive individuals who have taken their life experiences and mentored people like me.
Do you have any memorable experiences with a particular resident you would like to share?
There are so many, but one in particular is the story of Helen, who had just lost her husband and was very down and withdrawn from family and life. Her daughter brought her into my community, but was very worried she would not adapt very well. A week later her daughter called in a panic and said she was on her way because something must have happened to her mother because she was not answering the phone! She approached the lobby and saw that there was a party going on with wonderful music. As she looked around she spotted her mother in the middle of the room clapping to the music with a great big smile on her face. Not only was it a great feeling that we were able to get Helen involved, but the relief and the peace of mind on her daughters face reminded all of us why we love this business.
How do you honor your residents at your community?
With Respect and Dignity.
Tell us about a resident whose life changed for the better once they moved to your community.
I like to tell the one about a couple who had farmed all their lives and finally their kids convinced them to move into the city into a beautiful retirement community. One day the gentleman was found crying. he said: "I never knew life could be like this and my wife played bingo for the first time ever and won $10! We had to work hours on the farm to make that. Now I believe the saying 'I have died and gone to Heaven.'"
