I am pleased to introduce you to Cristina at Blossom Grove Alzheimer’s Special Care Center for this month’s THMTS Client Spotlight! Cristina has been Program Director at Blossom Grove for 7 years, and her commitment to quality and excellent care is evident to everyone who interacts with her.

Cristina passionately shares her love for doing what she does:

Meet Teri, Activity Coordinator at Plymouth Village: The Lodge, in Redlands, CA for our October Client Spotlight! Teri spent a year volunteering at Plymouth Village, and in that time, she realized that working with seniors gave her purpose and passion. Teri shared with me, “I prayed for an opening where my skills and talents might be utilized, and the Activity Coordinator position became available!”

Wendy began working at Meadowbrook as the Assistant to the Memory Care Activities Director in 2017 and is now the Activities Director of Skilled Nursing and Memory Care. She tells me how she experiences joy by not only providing a safe and secure environment for her residents, but also by providing a variety of crafts, games, and musical activities that bring joy to her residents and their families.

Wendy shares what inspires her to provide music therapy and other activities to her residents:

“I love to be that person who puts a smile on residents’ faces. I loved being a caregiver, but I hated seeing the sadness and pain that the residents go through on a daily basis, so I was inspired to apply for the Community Life Director position. I have always loved taking care of others - even as a child. My motivation to be where I am today stems from that love.”
