How long have you worked at Western Reserve Masonic Community?
I have worked WRMC two years this month. I live in Portage Lake and graduated from Stow High School. I come from a family that’s been in the printing business for many years. I followed in my family’s footsteps for 36 years until I decided it was time to make a change.
I decided to make a move to senior living. I started working at a different community in the Medina area. They offered me the opportunity to get my license so I could become a STNA. I accepted their offer and was thrilled that I gave it a try and got my license.
What makes Western Reserve Masonic Community different than other senior living communities?
A feeling of being welcome. I love coming to work every day. The people and the environment as well as the management makes me feel welcome and appreciated. I work second shift, which is perfect for me. My husband also works second shift so we can be home together.
I offer to work days that I would normally have off, even in other areas of the community simply because I love working at Western Reserve Masonic Community.
What do your daily responsibilities include?
The first thing I do every day is to get updated on the people that I will be working with. I go to each of their rooms to greet them and let them know I will be there for them. Since I work mostly in our rehab unit, people come and go as they meet the requirements of their rehabilitation. I let everyone know that I am there for them during their time at WRMC. I work with 6-10 people each day. I help them with their activities of daily living.
What are some of your favorite benefits Western Reserve Masonic Community offers?
The move to senior living was a great decision for me, personally and for the benefits. They are excellent. I love being able to work 2nd shift to correspond with my husband’s schedule. The pay is great, and the bonuses are even better!
What would you tell a prospective employee about Western Reserve Masonic Community?
You need to come to WRMC and join the team. You will enjoy working here. You will receive excellent training and be well prepared to work with our residents. I appreciate being able to recruit other good employees to join our team, and one of them works here today. Western Reserve Masonic Community is a fantastic place to work!
Why do you love working at Western Reserve Masonic Community?
It’s definitely the people, residents, co-workers and our fantastic leadership. I enjoy spending time with our residents and brightening their days. I can picture one of the residents that was here for rehab. All I had to do was talk a few minutes and I could have her laughing. That made my day!
