This Feature Friday, we spotlight John, one of our awesome CNAs!

When Certified Nursing Assistant, John enters the building to begin his 3:00 to 11:00 p.m. shift, there is nothing understated about his entrance. He greets every resident and staff member with his larger than life personality. His warm greeting and hardy laughter fills the hallway and brings a much needed smile to all of us during these crazy days of Covid.

John takes his role as a caregiver very seriously. He does an excellent job caring for our residents physical needs, but also enjoys engaging them in conversation and listening to their stories. One of his goals is to help each resident find purpose and meaning in each day. He humbly stated with a twinkle in his eye, “Life is worth living. We all have today, so let’s make it a party!” He’s known for his after dinner strolls with the residents and enjoys spending time engaging them in a little light-hearted banter. He says he uses patience, kindness, caring and humor to promote independence and a sense of neighborliness.

When he is not working, he likes watching sports and music (classic rock, R& B, jazz and blues) and is looking forward to a few post Covid sporting events and concerts. His favorite food is veal Marsala and he was actually a chef before he went into healthcare.

Thanks, John for the joy you bring to Northland Heights! You are very appreciated!! … See MoreSee Less
