I really enjoy talking and helping the participants. I try to always go above and beyond what ever they may need, even if it’s not in my job description. PACE CNY is about the quality of life so I always try to put a smile on their face. In my three years at PACE CNY, I have made everlasting relationships with so many of the participants that I will cherish and remember for a lifetime.

“My dad can’t always remember the names of all of the CNAs, but he is quick to tell us all the acts of kindness these people perform on a daily basis – things like letting him know that his wife settled down peacefully at bedtime, or sitting down on his bed and asking him to tell about the photos on his wall. Small acts create immeasurable feelings of being valued as an individual.”

At Daybreak, employees' hard work is recognized and praised throughout the year with various employee luncheon/dinner celebrations.  As a therapeutic recreation specialist, I am encouraged to think outside of the box and have the freedom to try new programs.  The atmosphere at Daybreak is positive and uplifting for staff and participants.  This makes for many enjoyable days!

"After developing heart problems, I decided to enter Sedgwick Heights for the security and peace of mind. The care is excellent and the food isn’t half-bad, either."
