I can’t believe it’s already been four years at this company! I started as a CNA and now I’m excited to be the activities director. It's definitely a bit of a challenge and very different from my previous role, but I feel like I've really stepped up to the occasion and am growing every day. We're having a blast! We’ve created a birthday club, and the outdoor activities we’ve planned have brought so much joy to our residents. They’re really happy and look forward to seeing what fun is in store each day!
