Meet Chris Wolff, one of the newest—and brightest—members of our Viridian family!

Born in Anchorage, Alaska, while his father served in the Air Force, Chris spent most of his childhood in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. With a background in machining and a career path that’s taken him through a variety of roles, Chris ultimately found his true calling in Maintenance.

Before joining us, Chris served as Maintenance Director at a large senior living facility in Washington, PA. It was there he not only honed his skills but also met and married the love of his life. Together, they share three wonderful children, now teenagers between the ages of 16 and 18.

In 2025, Chris made the heartfelt decision to relocate to Newport, North Carolina to be closer to his father, who retired in Rockingham in 2023. Since joining The Viridian as a maintenance technician, Chris has quickly become an indispensable part of our team. His deep knowledge, hands-on expertise, and unwavering dedication to helping others make him a standout in every way. With a smile as reliable as his toolbox, Chris keeps everything running smoothly at The Viridian. From quick fixes to major repairs, he’s the go-to guy for making sure residents feel right at home.

Chris is the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back—literally. His sense of humor, generous spirit, and genuine connection with our residents make him not just a great coworker, but a cherished friend to many.

When he’s not turning a screwdriver or solving a problem at The Viridian, Chris is a self-proclaimed homebody. He loves spending time with his beautiful wife, cheering on the Miami Dolphins, enjoying concerts and comedy shows, and relaxing with friends and family.
We’re lucky to have Chris on our team—and even luckier to know him.

Hello friends and family of The Viridian residents and staff. We are humbly asking for pumpkin, gourd and pinecone donations so we can decorate for fall and Halloween this year. If you, or anyone you know, can help us find a farm that would be willing to donate, or if you yourselves would like to donate, we would greatly appreciate it! We'd like to collect at least 15-20 good sized pumpkins for carving and painting activities and at least as many small gourds and pinecones. I sincerely thank you for your help and support.

🌼 Meet LaSha – A Pillar of Compassion at The Viridian

Born and raised in New Haven, Connecticut, LaSha’s journey into caregiving began with a deeply personal calling. When her sister was diagnosed with cancer, LaSha stepped in as her caregiver—an experience that not only shaped her heart but also her future. Inspired by that chapter of love and service, she became a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), launching a career that has spanned over 30 years.

In 2014, LaSha relocated to North Carolina, bringing her wealth of experience and warmth to a new community. She joined The Viridian a year and a half ago as a Med Tech, and her leadership and dedication quickly shone through. Within six months, she was promoted to Assistant Resident Care Coordinator in Assisted Living, and soon after, she rose to the role of Resident Care Director—a position she holds with grace and excellence.

Beyond her professional achievements, LaSha is a proud mother of two daughters and a loving grandmother to one grandson. Her passions are as vibrant as her personality: she enjoys traveling, landscaping her yard, riding her BMW motorcycle, and hosting joyful gatherings at her home. Her favorite things? The Pittsburgh Steelers, college softball, and indulging in Jelly Belly Jelly Beans.

LaSha’s presence at The Viridian is a gift. Her compassion, energy, and leadership enrich the lives of both residents and staff. We are truly blessed and proud to have her as part of our community 💛.

We had a wonderful time on the Cruise The Neuse Pontoon tour yesterday! Our Captain, Alex, was super nice and knowledgeable, riveting us with fun and historical facts about New Bern! We spent 90 minutes cruising the Neuse and Trent rivers, basking in the sunshine and soft breeze. It was quite relaxing and wonderful! We recommend this excursion to all!

Spirit Week, Day 4: 9/11 Remembrance "Patriotic Clothing". We had a moment of silence and prayer for the victims and families of 9/11 and for Charlie Kirk and his family. We also pray for all Americans for love, safety and togetherness. God Bless all and God Bless America.
