Congratulations to our April Aspire Champions, John and Brooklyn! Vista Prairie's Aspire - Life on Purpose lifestyle model embodies our commitment to honor residents and enhance their quality of life in 5 critical areas - social, physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual.
John was nominated because he was always checking on another resident to make sure they were doing okay and that they were getting down to meals. He also is always a joy to talk to and be around.
Brooklyn was nominated because she always comes in when needed, she is great with the residents and helpful to other staff members, and she always has a great attitude!
Congratulations again and thank you for all you do to create a joy-filled environment!
