What do you love most about your job?
Blair Ridge feels like home! Staff and colleagues are like family - they were super helpful when I was expecting. I enjoy our theme dinners and theme dress up days, and I love the interaction I have with our residents. I like to learn about them and learn from their life stories and experiences.
What is the best advice a resident has given you?
Live today - because you don’t know about tomorrow.
If you could tell your story in six words, what would those words be?
Live, love, laugh, respect, kind, pray.
Have you held a staff-led activity? If so, what was it?
During our recent “Celebrating Traditions of Asia” Theme Week, I led an activity to teach and show residents about the culture in India. I brought in a variety of traditional jewelry and clothing for them to see from India.
If you could look back on your life and give your younger self advice, what would it be?
Take it easy, calm down, and take time - it all goes well!
Our residents are so creative! Here is a picture of an Easter wreath that was made during therapy by our resident. How cute is this? We love getting everyone in the holiday spirit! 🐰
