✨We are incredibly proud of Riverside’s very own, Cathryn L. Judy Roark, for receiving the Dignity in Action Award. 🏆
Anyone who knows Cathy understands just how deserving she is of this honor.
She had the opportunity to travel to the Home Office to attend the award ceremony, where she met Jack and Eldora Vetter. The event featured outstanding meals and provided a meaningful opportunity for fellow award recipients to come together and share their passion for supporting and serving the senior community.
⭐️Here is the nomination:

“Cathy pours her heart and soul into enhancing the lives of others, always going above and beyond to create a meaningful impact. From decorating for Christmas to singing and praying with residents to uplift their spirits, Cathy creates meaningful moments every single day. She goes above and beyond for residents and staff every chance she gets. Cathy makes the dining room feel like a fancy restaurant, always anticipating needs and keeping those drinks topped off. Cathy is the QUEEN OF HOSPITALITY!”

If you see her, make sure to congratulate her! ✨
