Associate of the Month
Shaunelle Furch
We honor Shaunelle, our Med Tech in our Spirit Neighborhood, as our Associate of the month for October. This October she will celebrate three years at Sandy Plains.
She moved to Marietta from Tulsa, Oklahoma. She enjoys putting smiles on people’s faces and it is evident in her commitment to our residents and by the stellar care she provides for them. Shaunelle also enjoys having fun with our residents. One of her favorite activities is to play volleyball with the residents. It’s a joy to walk in our Spirit Neighborhood and find her in a circle with the residents laughing and smiling and having a great time. She is an advocate for creating an interactive courtyard for the residents and has asked for a fruit tree to be planted for them to enjoy and have fresh fruit.
She has ten years’ experience in the care field. Her advice to a new staff person or someone starting out in this career is to have patience, be a team player and have integrity. All great advice and Shaunelle exemplifies all three of these traits by being an exceptional role model. Her immediate response on her walkie is “how may I help you?” All of us at Legacy Ridge at Sandy Plains appreciate her dedication, expertise and can-do attitude and yes, Shaunelle we will be planting a fruit tree in the Spirit Courtyard!
Concierge Judith Rezende
Judith was born and raised in Georgia and because both of her parents are Brazilian, she speaks two languages on top of English—Portuguese and Spanish. She has a pet Leopard Gecko named Zuki and her favorite activity outside of work is jogging. Judith is driven by a deep-rooted passion for helping others. This innate desire to help led her to pursue a career in nursing. Judith thrives on creating a welcoming and supportive environment for both residents and their families. Each day for her presents an opportunity to make a meaningful impact, whether it’s through a kind word, a thoughtful gesture, or a simple act of kindness. Judith says, “my experience with this community has been guided by a steadfast commitment to compassion and I am honored to contribute to the well-being of our residents.” She captures the phone, gives tech advice and accepts deliveries almost simultaneously.
Our entire Sandy Plains community is grateful to our amazing concierge team of Wendy and Judith. We celebrate you both this September.
