Dalton exemplifies what it means to go above and beyond—every single day. He shows up with kindness, patience, and a deep commitment to our residents. What sets Dalton apart is the way he makes time for every individual. He’ll spend hours doing puzzles with one resident, then sit and talk or play games with another, always making space for connection. One resident looks forward to their daily drives with him. Like clockwork, Dalton never misses it. Another resident s eyes light up when Dalton brushes and braids their hair, a small act that speaks volumes about his care and gentleness.
Dalton also embraces change with enthusiasm. When I introduced the idea of making mealtimes more communal, he didn’t hesitate. I walked in one evening to find him sitting with a resident at the dining room table, sharing dinner and conversation. The resident looked so happy to be included and now Dalton does this every night, creating a sense of togetherness that’s truly special.
When I rolled out the fall cleaning list, Dalton didn’t just do his part, he did it with no hesitation. He brings a sense of safety, joy, and reliability to Stone Street. His presence makes the environment feel warm and welcoming, not just for residents, but for staff too. Dalton doesn’t just do his job. He elevates the standard for what compassionate care looks like.
Dalton doesn’t get nearly the recognition he deserves. His quiet consistency and deep compassion have a profound impact on Stone Street and its residents, He creates connection, comfort, and joy in ways that truly matter.
