Judy Sweeney has worked at Ohio Living Llanfair for 45 years. She has served in several different roles during her tenure.
Judy began her career as a front desk receptionist before moving into the human resources department. After she retired, she started her current position as activity coordinator for independent living.
“I drove by Ohio Living Llanfair all the time with my kids,” said Judy. “I saw an ad for bookkeeper and payroll. I applied, had an interview and was told I would hear something within one week. The next day they called and offered me the job. The woman calling was Mrs. Carter. I remember my 6-year-old daughter answered the phone and thought it was President Carter’s wife calling.”
Judy expressed it’s the “little things” that bring her joy each day. “The residents and employees stand out the most. I just can’t walk away from the residents.”
Even on the tough days, she finds joy in her role. “Sometimes when I wake up not feeling 100%, I think about maybe calling off,” said Judy. “I know that once I’m here, I’ll feel better and someone will always make you feel better.”
