We are pleased to share that Brent Hoag, husband of one of our residents, has created a special song dedicated to all Clayton Heights employees.
This is what Brent had to say about why he created and shared the song:
"Every now and then in life we have an opportunity to remind our fellow human beings who are routinely making positive contributions to others who are less fortunate, or challenged/disadvantaged, just how meaningful & appreciated they are.
The overall staff at Clayton Heights Community Care exemplify such a compassionate & caring group of people, as a role model, on a daily & ongoing basis.
To recognize them & to remind them, in this regard, is an honor. Otherwise, they might unfortunately never fully realize just how important they are & more specifically the significant impact of how they are actually treating & caring for others, or simply stated "doing their jobs", is having on people like my wife Sally (who is sadly completely dependent in the final stage of Alzheimer's) & myself.
Sure, they can hear this from those in charge & from their employer, which they should be, however the deserving employees after a while can unfortunately almost expect this from those in charge as being part of their responsibilities & duties. As such, it is sadly almost dismissed by such valued employees & we risk their understandably and typically slipping into complacency , or worse yet, "being taken for granted".
And that is where the opportunity presents itself for common people like myself to openly & clearly step up to emphasize to the staff team at Clayton Heights Care Community (Long Term Care) just how much they are appreciated primarily because of their compassion, empathy, professionalism, winning attitudes, and work ethic. I can't thank them enough or do justice to the difference that they are making on a daily basis in the lives of people such as Sally, along with so many unnamed others."
