There are people who show up to work.
And then there's Shirlene Green—who shows up with heart, kindness, creativity, and enough energy to power the entire building.

This month, we’re honored to recognize Shirlene Green as our Employee of the Month at Bend Transitional Care!

The love and admiration from her coworkers is off the charts. From day-to-day kindness to her legendary ability to “just jump in wherever needed,” Shirlene’s name came up again and again—always followed by words like “positive,” “compassionate,” “reliable,” and “amazing.”

Here’s just some of what her team had to say:

“She always has a positive attitude and lends a hand.”
“Truly the most compassionate and caring person I've met.”
“She pours her heart and soul into the facility… her enthusiasm is contagious.”
“Always willing to help wherever needed. No questions asked.”
“She does it all—and does it with a smile on her face.”
“Her ideas are so creative and fun.”
“She is absolutely amazing.”
“You can always count on her.”

Her coworkers highlighted not just what she does, but who she is: someone who supports everyone around her, treats residents with dignity, and brings a sense of joy to her work that inspires others.

From activities to teamwork to the small, everyday moments of support—Shirlene embodies what it means to go above and beyond. She is a true example of what care and compassion look like in action.

So to Shirlene: thank you. Thank you for all the energy, heart, creativity, and commitment you bring to Bend Transitional Care.
We are so lucky to have you on this team.

👏 Congratulations, Shirlene! You are absolutely Employee of the Month—and honestly, probably Employee of the Universe.

Administrator Appreciation Week Spotlight: Heather Jeffers, MSW, GMHS, LNHA- Bend Transitional Care

We asked Heather about her leadership philosophy and her vision for the year!

🗣 What does leadership mean to you?
"Leadership is about empowerment. A great leader doesn't just direct - they guide, support, and create an environment where others can thrive. My philosophy is built on trust, empathy, and open communication. I believe in listening to my team, understanding their strengths, and providing the resources they need to succeed.
For me, leadership is a continuous journey of learning and growth. It's about leading by example - demonstrating integrity, accountability, and a commitment to personal and professional development. When we approach leadership as a partnership, we can overcome challenges and celebrate our shared successes."

🗣 What's your vision for this year?
"My goal is to take our team and outcomes from great to exceptional. That means fostering a culture where empowerment, growth, and excellence are at the forefront. I want to challenge my team to push beyond their limits, reject complacency, and set a new standard of achievement. At Bend Transitional Care, we're not just meeting expectations - we're redefining them."

"This team is exceptional, and I am beyond grateful for them."

Join us in celebrating Heather and all the administrators making a difference daily!
