Congratulations to Marivic Graham, our Employee of the Month. Marivic is very outgoing and friendly. She's not only is a cook in the kitchen but also works as a caregiver.
We understand that social distancing can be tough on our residents and their families. That’s why we are creating unique engagement opportunities that respect the need for social distancing while still allowing special, meaningful moments to occur. Continue watching to see what creative ways we’ve come up with to keep our residents engaged and connected with family members.
We are wishing all of our residents with a March birthday a very Happy Birthday!
