February 25, 2020Barnesville, Ohio - Emerald Pointe's Dietary team makes a difference every day!
Our dietary team has some of the most caring and compassionate individuals, and one of those is Donna Baker. Donna has worked at Emerald Pointe for a little under a year and since joining our team, she has proven to be nothing other than an excellent Dietary Aide. Donna received Employee of the Month for January and that alone speaks volumes of the type of worker she is and how all the employees here at Emerald really enjoy having her as a part of our dietary team.
Our dietary team works so very hard every day to help make a difference in the lives of the people they serve. Our team members are always going above and beyond for our residents and doing something special to make them feel like family. On Valentine's Day, Donna went out and purchased Valentine's Day cards. She filled one out for every resident (60 residents!) and then sent it on their lunch tray. During lunch tray pass, which was done by our STNA's and Management staff, our staff all got to see first-hand the resident's expressions when they noticed what a nice little surprise they had waiting for them on their lunch tray for Valentine's Day. Not everyone gets to celebrate Valentine's Day with their significant other, but this year Donna made sure that each and every one of our residents had their own special little Valentine.
It was Donna's act of kindness that speaks volumes of the person she is. This was something Donna didn't have to do, but yet she made the purchase, spent the time, and did it anyway. One can easily see that Donna truly enjoys being part of our team, and her kindness was felt by all that day!
The staff here at Emerald Pointe couldn't be happier to be working alongside side people like Donna. She truly lives out our culture of care and sets the example of one of our core values, MAKING A DIFFERENCE EVERY DAY. Donna, by far, makes the difference!
Our facility would like to thank Donna, along with all of the members of our dietary team for all of their hard work and dedication they carry out every single day.
