If I had my own holiday, what would it be called? What would we celebrate? These questions, which we include each of our Care Kits, are designed to help you reflect and connect on deeper levels. Perfect for solo contemplation or sharing with your chosen family. With your chosen family it can be fun to all answer the same question and learn the ways you are alike and different. Share this question on a car ride or during a meal and you might just learn something new about the people you spend most time with! Learn more about our care kits here: https://lnkd.in/ga6eQV5U

Today, as we celebrate love and connection, let's also take a moment to appreciate the power of our hands in saving lives. 💖 Did you know that hands-only CPR can be a crucial act of love and care for someone in need? According to the American Heart Association, nearly 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen in homes. Performing hands-only CPR can triple a person's chance of survival. It only takes a few minutes to learn hands-only CPR, but its impact is immeasurable. So, as you exchange tokens of affection today, consider gifting something truly invaluable—a commitment to learn hands-only CPR and be a hero in someone's life.

As an HR executive, living and working with compassion means prioritizing the well-being of our employees, who in turn dedicate themselves to the care of our residents. Unlike my colleagues and co-workers, whose primary focus is directly on our residents—from custodians and maintenance staff to CNAs, LPNs, RNs—my focus is on the people who make our mission possible: our employees. Compassion in my role involves ensuring that our team members have the support they need to thrive, both professionally and personally. This means crafting and implementing policies and procedures that not only foster a positive work environment but also empower our staff to deliver the best possible care to our residents. By working compassionately, we create a workplace where employees feel valued, supported, and equipped to provide compassionate care. It’s about recognizing the vital role each team member plays and ensuring they have the resources and environment needed to succeed. When we care for our employees with the same dedication they show our residents, we build a stronger, more resilient organization. It’s a cycle of care that starts with us and radiates out to every individual we serve.
