How can we top that AMAZING Thanksgiving that we just enjoyed? The entire Culinary Team truly out did themselves! I saw nothing but joy and happiness on that wonderful day. It was one for the “Memories.”
I also wanted to thank all our fellow veterans who participated in our Veterans Day Celebration. What a series of wonderful events! Shout-out to Kayla for making the 11th of November so special!
I love this time of year! Fun and excitement fills the air. Decorating our community with Holiday Splendor. Planning our schedule of Christmas parties and events.
I see nothing but smiling faces everywhere I turn. Today, I want to share the many blessings that have been bestowed on me this past year:
1) I have the opportunity to serve such an amazing group of Residents! Our Residents are truly the most loving, friendly, and caring residents I have ever had the privilege of serving. The amazing thing is, their loving, caring nature attracts “like” new residents. Our population is not just growing. It’s growing with fun-loving, caring great people!
2) I am blessed with a team of highly motivated, dedicated professionals who enjoy working at Kirby Pines. How do I know they love working here? It’s simple. It is proven by their longevity on the job! We have currently 68 employees who have been with us over 5 years! Nationally, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the national average tenure is 4.1 years. This is truly a blessing to have such dedication from our staff. It should give us all a real peace of mind and comfort.
3) And lastly, we are blessed to have the leadership, guidance, and consistent vision from the Psalms Board of Directors, as well as RCA. I personally count these and so many more blessings every day I enter our gorgeous campus. I have never been happier!
Now, if we could just get a little snow on the 24th! Merry Christmas Everyone!
