THE MISSION OF MY BUSINESS: We
want to keep our residents as independent
as possible, for as long as possible. We do
this by helping our residents become the very
best versions of themselves. By focusing on
a comprehensive wellness program, we offer
insight and assistance to allow our residents
to focus on specific areas of interest and
provide them with the platform they need to
enjoy experiences at any age.
YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED THAT:
Carlyle Place is a Life Plan Community. We
provide four levels of care on our campus:
Independent Living, Personal Care, Memory
Support and Skilled Nursing. As our residents'
needs change, we are able to assist them
throughout the continuum to ensure that they
each receive the right level of care at the
right time.
I ADMIRE WOMEN WHO: Are well-
respected by others. There is a lot of truth
to the statement that titles are given, but
respect is earned. Throughout my life, I have
been blessed by the opportunity to learn
from strong, intelligent women who have
shown me that genuine compassion and
grace go a long way in building relationships,
both professional and personal.
THE MOST GRATIFYING PART OF MY
JOB: When someone shares their results
from a doctor's appointment, in which their
gains and improvements were so significant
that their doctor stopped and questioned
what changed in their lives – very few things
are more rewarding in my job. Just knowing
that I have shared a role in enhancing and
improving someone's life is so gratifying.
I HOPE MORE WOMEN WILL: Take that
leap of faith and follow their dreams, and
realize that choosing a career path that makes
you truly happy is one of the most rewarding
things you can do for yourself.
