The Cedars community news & events
I took a leap of faith and entered a whole new world of senior living.
Over the years, I have met so many wonderful seniors, families, and coworkers. They all have a special place in my heart. I feel so blessed to have been part of many journeys that have shaped and inspired me into who I am today.
It’s not just activities, it’s life.
The light clicked, and I just knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to become a Therapeutic Recreational Therapist working with children. As I was unaware of my future, behold, I would end up working with the opposite generation.
My Mission: Providing Quality Care Seniors Deserve.
When I was a caregiver, I took great pride in being able to provide quality care for dementia residents that other aides had a hard time with. I found that it is in how you approach residents. I try to help them maintain their dignity and offer them choices.
How I Got Hooked into Senior Living
There were so many wonderful residents, with one in particular named Norma. She had my heart! I loved that she was always smiling, laughing, and happy to see us. She loved to sing and dance with anyone who was nearby. I loved Norma.
