A True Superstar
At Browning Masonic Community, (BMC) our employees are superstars! We recently sat down with Tabitha, our receptionist, so she could share her story and the success she has had at Browning Masonic Community. Meet Tabitha, a Browning Masonic Community Superstar!
How long have you worked at Browning Masonic Community?
I am one of the newer employees at BMC. I began in April 2024. I started in Housekeeping since, I was new to working in senior living. In August, I was offered a wonderful opportunity—the ability to change positions to the front desk receptionist. I am the person that greets you when you arrive.
What makes Browning Masonic Community different than other senior living communities?
This is the first time I have ever worked in a senior living community, and I love each day I am here. For 16 years I managed a dog training and daycare business. As my family aged, the opportunity arose for me to care for my sister, brother and my father until their passing. Some people say, “that must have been awful,” but it was actually a blessing for me to have that opportunity. I have no regrets.
With that opportunity, it showed me that I enjoy working with and caring for older adults. BMC is the perfect fit for me.
What do your daily responsibilities include?
Since I sit at the front desk, I get to greet everyone as they arrive. One of the little things I make sure to do when I greet everyone is to include the day of the week. “Have a great Wednesday” is an example. I answer the phones and handle the US mail. I do the work orders and organize the weekly activity packets. I try to do whatever needs to be done and I keep the candy dish full too!
What are some of your favorite benefits Browning Masonic Community offers?
You may think this first benefit is a bit strange, but it’s so true. Working at BMC had eliminated my stress. My hours are perfect for me as well as my family. Also, I only live five minutes from here.
However, the most important benefit is the people that I get to spend my days with. I love my co-workers and more importantly, it’s the residents that I laugh and talk with each day. They keep me smiling.
What would you tell a prospective employee about Browning Masonic Community?
It may sound cliché, but Browning Masonic Community is a great place to work. You will receive the necessary training to make sure you are comfortable with your job. Our leadership is always there to support you and let you know that you are appreciated. I would recommend BMC to anyone looking for a job in senior living.
Why do you love working at Browning Masonic Community?
It’s one simple word, residents. They bring joy and happiness to everyone around them. Our residents make me “appreciate life.”
