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.

"I was in terrible pain and could not find a dentist that would accept Medicaid. If they did accept it, the waiting list was months long. A friend told me about PACE CNY's McAuliffe Health Center and I was able to get an emergency appointment within two weeks. Their dentist was very gentle, too."

Loretto's Sedgwick Heights hasn’t simply been a job for me these past 14 years, but a motivation to make a difference within my own community and with elders.  Working for Loretto gives me greater confidence in myself; giving me the education & tools needed to grow in my job.  Loretto does a great job at motivating people through encouragement, constant support and consistently keeping education moving forward.

I always wanted to pursue a career in culinary arts in some form and working with elders over the years has been a great experience. They have taught me a lot.  Loretto gave me a chance to grow and fulfill my goals and dreams.
