Congratulations to
Carol Basciotta!

We are proud to recognize Carol for completing her 30-day stay on our Transitional Care Unit here at Brightwood Center. During her time with us, she worked incredibly hard and made remarkable progress.

When Carol first arrived, she was unable to walk. With determination, a positive spirit, and the support of our skilled therapy team, she regained her strength and independence—ultimately walking 50 feet on her own by the time she was discharged. What an amazing achievement!

Carol shared that she would be sad to leave because she felt welcomed, received excellent care, and she had the best therapy team guiding her recovery. Hearing that means the world to us.

We are thrilled to celebrate all that Carol accomplished and even more excited that she gets to return home just in time for the holidays.

Congratulations, Carol! Your hard work and success inspire us all. We will miss you!!!!

Congratulation’s, Minnie!
We are so incredibly proud to announce that you are our quarterly Leading With a Heart winner!

Minnie, your dedication shines through in everything you do. You keep our laundry department running smoothly day in and day out—coming in early, staying late, and always showing up with a heart full of kindness. Your commitment ensures that our residents receive their belongings quickly, neatly, and with genuine care.

You continually go above and beyond, not because you have to, but because you truly care about the people who call Brightwood home. Even on your days off, our residents ask for you—proof of the meaningful connections you’ve made and the impact you leave on everyone around you.

Thank you for your hard work, your compassion, and your unwavering heart of gold.

Brightwood Center Skills day at the casino

Brightwood Center skills day at the casino -

Let’s give a special shoutout to Carrie Bishop, our incredible Nurse Educator here at Brightwood. Carrie plays a huge role in keeping our team sharp, confident, and prepared for anything. Her dedication to teaching, coaching, and supporting our staff truly makes a difference every single day.

Carrie’s passion for education showed beautifully during Skills Day. She created hands-on learning experiences, guided staff step-by-step through essential techniques, answered questions with patience and clarity, and made everyone feel comfortable and capable. Her ability to turn important clinical skills into easy-to-understand, practical training is something we are so grateful for.

Whether she’s teaching new hires, refreshing seasoned staff, or developing training tools behind the scenes, Carrie puts her heart into every part of her role. She leads with kindness, knowledge, and a true commitment to excellent resident care.

Thank you, Carrie, for being the educator, motivator, and support system our team can always count on. Brightwood is better because of you.

Another big thank-you to all departments who helped make Skills Day a success — from setting up educational stations to providing demonstrations and hands-on activities. Every team played a part in making the day engaging, interactive, and fun.

To our staff, thank you for showing up, participating, asking questions, and having fun while learning. Days like this remind us how strong we are when we learn and grow together.

Great job, Brightwood!
Teamwork, education, and heart — that’s what makes us who we are.
