"I took the Activities Director position in early October because I love our residents and want them to have fun and feel loved. I came in during the holiday season and jumped in feet first, and it's been a wild ride.
By far, my favorite moment was NYE. I decided to host a countdown party with our residents at 9 pm/12 am EST. They had so much fun. We threw confetti, danced our hearts out, and some even got dressed up in fancy clothes. Seeing their smiles has been the driving factor in everything I do here. They have changed my life for the better.
Thank you for allowing me to help make a difference and enhance their lives!"

Justine Christensen, Activities Director at Avamere Transitional Care at Sunnyside
