“Working with seniors and their families everyday has been a joy. Over the years I have established relationships with family members and residents that lasted beyond their stay at Sunrise Ridge. Watching seniors try something for the first time in their lives, hit milestone birthdays or anniversaries, laugh with them or cry with them has brought me so much fulfillment in life. Albert Einstein said only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile. Working in Senior Living for 10 years has certainly brought that quote to life for me. I will always be grateful for the opportunity that I was given to enter into such a rewarding career.”
