On the third day of #COVIDCare Christmas 🎄 LifeSpire of Virginia gave to Patricia Brown a $250 bonus 🎄
“She has gone above and beyond each day to learn and stay current with all the changing information coming in regarding COVID-19. Trish has a super positive attitude and presentation each and every time.”
“Not only has she kept me afloat through COVID, but she also keeps the whole healthcare team going daily. She checks on all the team at least twice a day. She is a wonderful, caring and gracious person!”
Congratulations, Patricia!!

Her day is continuously interrupted with team members requesting masks or other PPE. Susan is always about doing the right thing. She is one of our silent heroes.”

The Chesapeake and VBH Foundation teams wish our supporters, residents, family members and the extended LifeSpire family a very Merry Christmas 🎄 May the joy of the season fill your hearts with cheer ⭐️
On this Christmas 🎄 Eve, our residents urge everyone to give themselves the gift 🎁 of protection: consider getting the COVID-19 vaccine #sharethelove

Resident Plea
None of the COVID-19 vaccines use the live virus that causes COVID-19. You may have symptoms after you get a vaccine. This is normal and a sign that your immune system is learning how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19. Learn more: https://bit.ly/37HXj0e
On the tenth day of #COVIDCare Christmas 🎄 LifeSpire gave to The Chespeake's Amy Thomas a $250 bonus 🎄
"During these past nine months, Amy has been a rock to our team members and me. She is always going out of the way to help a resident, team member or family member, and this is in all levels of care. When she is off, her lack of presence is felt in so many ways. She was the first one to volunteer to work in our 'hot zone' when it was active, taking up the bulk of the night shift hours. Amy wears so many hats in our community and manages to keep a smile and a positive attitude. Thank you, Amy, for all you do!”
Congratulations, Amy!👏🏽🙌🏼🌟
Out with the old and in with the new! We don't know about you, but we're ready to see what's in store for 2021! #HappyNewYear
