“My goal is to enrich the quality of life for our residents by implementing progressive new ideas to help them improve and maintain their hobbies and interests. In my teenage years, helping to care for my grandmother, and a high school co-op placement at a long term care home helped me realize my passion for the elderly. Today I enjoy being a part of a team that puts a smile on residents’ faces and makes them feel at home – and I am passionate about making their home a place of joy and laughter.”

I am privileged to journey with our seniors and their families during the final leg of life, to hear peoples’ stories and share in their transitions. As staff serving in a Christian care home, we live out Jesus’ love to those we meet, extending a loving hand, lending a listening ear, and together upholding the inherent dignity and worth of everyone who enters here.”

For me, nursing is not a profession but rather a vocation.”
