What do you like most about working in long-term care?
My favorite part of working in long-term care is the people!
What would you tell others to encourage them to consider a career in long-term care?
It’s so rewarding. The lessons you learn from the people you care for are amazing! But the rewards of giving of yourself are priceless.
What lessons have you learned working in long-term care that also help you outside of work?
It’s about how you treat people and how to build relationships and friendships.
When you’re not at work, what do you enjoy doing?
Spending time with my grandkids, reading, baking and selling Scentsy products.
What is your favorite quote and why?
