✨ Employee Spotlight #6: Tia Cree!✨
Today we are proud to highlight Tia Cree, Lead Medication Aide at Chinook Place!
Tia shared the heart behind why she chose to work in long-term care, and we think it's beautiful:
“I chose to go into long-term care because I’ve always felt a deep calling to care for my elders, especially those who may not always have a strong voice of their own. I truly enjoy building connections with the residents I care for. In long-term care, you don’t just care for someone’s physical needs, you become part of their daily lives, their routines, and even their families.
I love the chance to truly get to know each resident, listen to their stories, and bring comfort, dignity, and joy into their days. It’s not always easy, but it’s meaningful work, and I feel grateful to be able to give back in such a personal and lasting way.
Knowing I can make someone feel valued and supported each day is what makes this work so rewarding to me.”
Tia, thank you for bringing such compassion and warmth to your role at Chinook Place. The way you connect with and honor our residents is so important. It truly makes a difference. We are very grateful to have you as part of our Caring Places team.
Congratulations on being part of our 2025 Spotlight Crew! 🌟💙
