Show Your Appreciation for Someone Special with Enlivant's Gratitude Wall

Lorna, Crystal, and many other staff members have done an admirable job in taking care of Betty Riggs Meyer during the almost impossible COVID-19 pandemic. They have been excellent at communicating with me throughout this time and have tried their best to take care of Betty and all the residents of the Memory Care unit. All of us in the family have really appreciated their hard work.

Tara has done an amazing job of juggling all that is placed before her. In my opinion, she has been given way more work than one person could possibly handle, and she always seems to try her best to meet the needs of the residents and families, despite the enormous case load. I heard she is on medical leave at the moment. I wish her the very best, and hope she is able to return soon!

Thank you to all the support team that answers immediately or responds quickly to our requests. An ED has to be an octopus with many moving parts that you have to juggle constantly. So having answers to your questions quickly makes it much easier to do your job efficiently. AR, Payroll, HR, etc.--thanks!

Kristin Dunbar shows up with a huge heart Monday through Friday. These dear residents are her calling in life, and she is always looking out for them. She is quick to respond when something is wrong with one of them and puts their needs above her own.

I can’t thank everyone at Northhaven enough for everything they do for my mother-in-law. They all go above and beyond to make sure she is taken care of. I’m so blessed to have them in her life right now! Thank you, everyone, for taking care of her! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I would like to thank all the staff at Campbell Place for all that they have done during these very difficult times. They all have gone the extra mile in caring for our loved ones and in making things as upbeat as possible. A special thank you to Ryan for his leadership in all of this! I am grateful that we chose Campbell Place for my mother!

Whenever I have the opportunity to give a tour at Highland Place, I promote all of our staff. We are always tour-ready! Our Executive Director, Robin, exemplifies Enlivant's mission, vision, and values, and together we all unite! Carl, the Executive Chef is focused on each resident and has a sense of humor that delights them all. Paul, Maintenance Director, is very busy and attentive and delivers promptly. Bingo is a resident-magnet! RCPs, huge! I wish I could list all.

My sister, Bobbie Willey, no matter what, is always working, taking a chance everyday until this virus is over. She goes above and beyond for her job! She never calls off unless she absolutely has too. She's got the biggest heart. If someone needs someone to fill in for them, she does. She has even gone to pick girls up to make sure they get to work! She's just an all-around amazing and hard worker. I love her!

I have two daughters who work at two different Enlivant communities. I have seen how hard they work to try to keep some type of normalcy during a pandemic and at the same time provide the best care and the most loving environment possible. I recently read this: “He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has.” – Epictetus. This seems to be so true in 2020. Keep up the good work!

Nurse Donna goes way beyond to make sure the residents' needs and care are first priority. She makes sure the families are happy with the care their loved ones receive. She puts their care first. She's also concerned about her fellow workers.

Deb is always willing to help out when/where needed, whether it is moving residents, assisting in family calls, or taking residents out for a walk. She is a blessing to the community and to Enlivant.

All the staff truly go above and beyond with the physical and emotional support for residents. During this lockdown, my Dad experienced a health emergency, and Lynda, Donna, and Roxanne were absolutely wonderful with him and supportive in all aspects. I couldn't have asked for a better community. He continues to enjoy the wonderful meals and all the visits from staff. The staff continue to put this community first.

I have been blessed with the most caring and supportive staff anyone can ask for. Lynda, Donna, and Roxanne have been my rocks through a recent health scare with my dad, but they along many other staff took such great care of him as well as helping me get through it. The staff works so diligently to keep spirits up. I can't even imagine how loved ones would be feeling without them! They deserve so much for all everyone has been doing for three months.

I am grateful for everything that the entire team is doing to help the residents of Pomerelle Place have a safe, inviting, and caring place to live. The everyday support, the wonderful meals, the caring staff, and management all combine to make Pomerelle Place unique. I want to especially recognize Lisa, who works so hard to keep everyone engaged and entertained. Her role is a big part of what brings happiness to each and every day.

Every single Kent Place employee goes above and beyond to provide residents with a safe and enjoyable living experience. I am proud to work alongside them and to assist the valued members of our society.

I just want to recognize all of the Hickory Place Heroes for the compassion they show our residents every day. They all step up to the plate and go above and beyond to ensure our residents are cared for and happy--not only since the COVID-19 pandemic began; they honestly do this every day. Many thanks to our awesome leader, Andrea Garcia, for our new hero shirts! We care for seniors. What's your superpower?

The entire staff at Meredith Place has been great, but I would like to single out Crystal Arreola. She goes above and beyond her job description. She keeps me informed on how my dad is doing, sending me pictures and text messages. In the midst of COVID-19, she called me just to see how my family was doing. I can’t tell you how comforting it is knowing there is someone like her caring for my dad.

It’s hard to only name a person or two of the staff at Cherryvale Place because everyone is so wonderful and caring to my Father! Amazing team of people! Thank you all!

In the absence of a CSM at Lynd Place, LPN Ben Holland has stepped up to the plate to ensure orders/medications are are being delivered on time with a smile on his face and compassion in his heart!

We want to show gratitude to our ED, Michael Goolsby! He comes in at all hours and works to do what it takes to ensure our facility is running correctly. Michael always follows through with everything he tells his employees and the residents. He truly cares about his residents and takes pride in our community. We have never seen a ED work so very hard. Our residents just love him. Their happiness shows it all!

Our maintenance man, Jake, is always looking out for all of us in the community--coworkers, residents--fixing this and that. I'm very lucky to have a job that gives me the satisfaction of knowing he has our back, and Jake is always ready to help fix the unexpected when necessary. It's never a problem. I have gratitude for all my co-workers. They are pretty amazing people to work with. I hope to be here a good long time. Thank you, from Frankie (cook/CNA).

This goes out to Rebecca Harmon who works so hard and gives 200% to her residents and staff, not only at work but at home as well. Such a dedicated human being that anyone would think, "How does she get all of this done in a day's time?" Rebecca goes out of her way to make sure that her residents and staff are treated with respect and dignity. She has worked very hard to get to where she is and is there for anyone who needs her 24/7. Kudos to Rebecca.

The residents here receive the most wonderful care. The staff are always smiling and welcoming. They all pitch in and do what needs to be done regardless of their titles. Christine Martin truly goes above and beyond doing activities that challenge mind and body. During this time, she has worked hard at trying to keep residents and family members connected. She is awesome!

I really have appreciated all the folks who work at Bliss Place. During this very trying time, I’ve been comforted by the help I’ve received, especially from Katrina, Missy, Aleeta, Kelley, Debbie, Mary, Susan, George, Alex, and Heather. Amy and Rayna and Madlyn have also always been helpful in the past. Again, everyone is appreciated more than I can say. My Mom means everything to me, and I pray for her as well as her caregivers at Bliss Place.

Mackenzie Marvels! While I was helping a sister community in need, the staff was friendly and helpful during my time there. Thank you for welcoming me with open arms and making me feel a part of your family. Miss everyone of you. Stay strong, and keep smiling.

Robbie at Rock Run Memory Care is an amazing guy. His compassion and care for the residents is rare and genuine. My grandmother loves him, and I know everyone does their job, but I believe Rob loves his residents, which is the greatest gift a family can have for their loved ones.

The therapy department would like to thank and acknowledge all the staff at Willowbrook Place. We appreciate all their hard work, long endless hours, and continuous love and compassion that they provide on a daily basis for our residents. There is great teamwork exhibited among the staff in all departments with everyone helping in all areas to make our residents feel safe and loved during this pandemic.

I am so pleased to work at such a wonderful place. All the employees and residents are so wonderful to be around. It’s an honor to work at Hoyt Place. Everyone there is my family, and there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for them, especially for our boss, Janet Redden. She is awesome and a wonderful person to work for. Thank you for everything you do.

Andrea Lee is our Life Enrichment Coordinator at Monroe Place and does an amazing job! ❤️ She always comes into work with a smile on her face and is ready to do whatever is asked. The residents absolutely love her! She is a blessing to our team!

Debbie Goodman is our Administration Assistant here at Monroe Place, and without her our building wouldn’t be the same! She is part of the glue among all the other team members that holds Monroe Place together! She always comes into work with a genuine smile ready to do whatever is asked of her! ❤️

Nikki LaBoy has been a godsend during the COVID crisis. The residents and their families have always valued her work ethic and kindness. She went out of her way to keep us informed, whether it was text or FaceTime of our loved ones’ conditions. Her dedication to our residents during this time was very much appreciated and will never be forgotten.

Angelique Alarcon, RN Supervisor, always goes the extra mile! She responds promptly to any concerns we have about our Mom and follows through. No matter how busy she is, she makes one feel that you are the only person who matters at that moment. She truly cares about all the elders in Hunters Crossing Place.

Thank you Rock Run Memory Care Place for making the last three years of my mothers' life fulfilling. The Life Enrichment program was always active and original. The facility was active and always felt like a happy place. Mom enjoyed all the parties and activities.

I am super grateful to have such an amazing boss! Teresa Selby goes above and beyond daily to make sure our community is running smoothly. Thank you so much for caring and for being so helpful.

I would like to shout out to Heidi, Luanne, Claudia, and Joe, who have really helped me feel like a part of the Manning Place family! As I'm the newest member of the team, they have been very supportive as I wrap my arms around both the residents and my position as the CSM. You guys are the best!

I am so thankful and grateful for the staff at Savannah Place. My mother is a resident there, and it has now been over three months since I’ve been able to be with her because of COVID-19. The staff has been so loving and caring, not just to Mom and all the residents but to their family members as well. This is a very hard and difficult time for all. I want to say thank you, staff, for all you are doing. Cari, Susan, Chelsea, Sarah, Regan--God bless.

I want to thank my supervisor David Thurlow for his unrelenting leadership through this time of Covid in our communities. He has been consistently supportive, kind, as well as available for the teams and has made a huge difference.

Team Franklin, you are an inspiration to so many other teams. You have been faced with many challenges and changes lately, not only within the community, but also within your own leadership team, and you continue to move forward with such a passion for serving our seniors and an amazing, positive outlook. I am so proud to have you all as part of the family. Thank you for making such an impactful difference, every single day!

My mom was a resident at Canfield Place for 14 weeks. She lived at home until Feb. 7, 2020. She was treated quite well and respected for the great person she was. My mom was 94 years old. The staff were wonderful to her and made her final weeks so much more enjoyable.

I want to say thank you to our ED Sadi Buzdum. I have worked directly under her now for 2 1/2 years, and at 48 years old and after having several bosses throughout my 32 years of work history, I can honestly say that she is the greatest boss ever! She is everything you could want in a leader and mentor, and I feel blessed every single day that she chose me as her Administrative Coordinator and friend. Thank you, Sadi!

Team Hopkins is super proud of our LEC, Antionette Phillips, for stepping up and sharpening her beauty shop talents for our residents. I must say they all look fabulous!

The entire team at DeWolfe does a great job. They go out of their way to make people's lives meaningful and to provide an amazing resource to our community. Great leadership and staff!

We are thankful for the continued support and relationship with Pathfinder - Fremont NE. We value your commitment to seniors and the community. - Home Instead Fremont NE

Maria’s compassion for the residents she cares for goes above any employee I have had the pleasure of working with. I would put my family member in her care with no questions. During this pandemic, she has kept the residents smiling and has kept to normal routines, as possible.

Willow Lake Place is no stranger to adversity and overcoming obstacles. Being one of the first communities in COVID-19 red status presented an entirely new set of challenges, and, not surprisingly, our staff rocked it! I am humbled by the tenacity and strength I'm blessed to witness on a daily basis and beyond grateful for the gift our staff, residents, and their families have been in my life. Thank you so very much, team! - Kimberly Howell, CRM

I am so thankful for every single employee of Fairfield Place. During this extremely tense and stressful time, they have remained faithful to their duties, shown up in the face of risk to their own health, and loved and cared for my mom and all the residents there so well. My mom still sounds happy, and we are so grateful for the care and enrichment activities. Thank you for loving my mom as much as I do!

The activities director Diann is the best I have ever seen. She does whatever the residents want. She is never afraid to try anything. During this Covid crisis, she has managed to keep the residents' spirits and morale up by making sure they feel good about themselves, and she has helped them keep in touch with their families. She has fixed their hair and has done anything she could do to lift their spirits. Residents know it's going to be a good day if Diann is working.

It is not possible to pick one employee. I want to shout out our entire staff. Our building has been busy well before COVID started, and our staff have truly demonstrated their reason for showing up daily. Thank you for the amazing dedication.

I'm grateful for our new housekeeper, Sandy, keeping Kennesaw Place shiny and safe! I am also grateful for our wonderful ED Sonya and CSM Angela, for their unwavering compassion during some trying times in the community. We are a tighter knit team because of their leadership, and we are facing the challenges together.

Knowing I work for a company that has such amazing leaders who are full of compassion and humility makes me feel proud! Thank you, Jack and Dan, for all that you stand for and and all that you do for us. Thank you for always doing the right thing, not the most comfortable thing. Enlivant Proud

Ashley/CRM, thank you for all the support you have given Cottonwood Place. You are very good at what you do. We are fortunate to have you on our team for this interim period. Words cannot express the gratitude I feel to have you assisting our community. And Mark, thanks for sharing her with us. :)

I am very thankful for my staff at Hamilton Place. They have stuck through the changes and continue to do so, and that means so much. Everyone has worked so hard. Each department plays a crucial role in making sure our residents are safe and cared for. Thank you, Team Hamilton!

I am so grateful to have Robbie Hinz as my ED. Robbie goes above and beyond to make sure everything is in place before she goes home. Good example: Robbie lives an hour away from work. Robbie wanted to make sure everything was set for going back to residents eating in the dining room. She worked all day, stayed overnight, and continued getting everything in place. Robbie consistently shows what hard work, compassion, and dedication are.

We are so grateful for all the employees at Urbana Place! They are so kind and caring to our mom. We love all the special activities Rachel plans for the residents. And we are so grateful for Dwana‘s efforts to make sure we can regularly FaceTime with mom. She goes above and beyond in taking care of our mom. It’s a difficult journey, and we are immensely grateful to all the special employees at Urbana Place who do such an amazing job!

I am so thankful for all staff at Highland Place. I would like to mention Shemane Brambilla. She has stepped up so much and helps so much more than she realizes, every single day. Thank you for all the hard work and helping hands, Shemane!
