Noelle C., Quality of Life Coordinator, Azura Senior Living, Fox Point
"My why for working in senior living, specifically with Azura and memory care, is because of the opportunities it gives me to make a difference in the lives of others. Every day I am given the opportunity to help improve the quality of life for people who are often misunderstood and it's very grounding. I find it to be an incredibly rewarding job that continues to teach me how to be the best version of myself for someone else."

Molly W., Life Enrichment Coordinator, The Cottages in Shawno
"I love forming connections with the tenants and residents, enriching their lives, and building lasting bonds which means they become more like family. I love listening to the stories of when they were younger and how they did things compared to now days. The residents and tenants make more of an influence in our lives than they realize. I love it when it's the little things that we do that make a big difference to them."
