On Memorial Day, Springmoor residents honored military personnel who have died in the service of our country in a variety of ways, such as creating these patriotic displays. It is estimated that more than 1.2 million American service members have died in battle—or as the result of wounds sustained in combat—since the founding of our nation in 1776. We are deeply grateful for the sacrifices they and their families have made.

As part of our ATTITUDE Employee Recognition Program, we are pleased to congratulate Stormy McLean and Patricia Lara as our Employees of the Month for May! This recognition is based on resident input.

A Dining Supervisor, Stormy is being recognized for her exceptional attentiveness to residents and her commitment to providing outstanding service. During a recent holiday meal, she went above and beyond by thoughtfully arranging a more private dining space for a family to enhance their experience. Stormy’s ability to anticipate needs and create a welcoming, comfortable environment makes a meaningful and lasting impression. Her actions truly reflect a high standard of care and dedication, and we are grateful to have her on our team.

Patricia is an RN. Many residents have experienced firsthand her reliability and her commitment to going beyond her assigned duties to ensure exceptional care. She not only provides excellent nursing support; she also steps in to assist with resident care in the dining room whenever needed. Residents and their families consistently experience Patricia’s outstanding customer service, as well as her patience and compassion. She works seamlessly with the entire team to create a positive and supportive environment.

Thank you to our May Employee of the Month winners. They both exemplify the values of the ATTITUDE program. Residents and fellow employees appreciate their hard work and the positive impact they make in our community.

In 1949, May was designated as Mental Health Awareness Month in the US to help educate the public, destigmatize mental health issues, and promote mental wellbeing. Springmoor embraces a holistic approach to wellness that includes supporting mental health in a wide variety of ways. Learn more: springmoor.org/2025/12/springmoor-embraces-a-holistic-approach-to-wellness-that-includes-supporting-mental-health

Tips for seniors for nurturing your mental health:

-Seek support: Talk to a healthcare professional if you’re experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or other emotional issues; early intervention is key.
-Stay socially connected: Regularly interact with friends and family or join community groups to enhance your connections with others.
-Maintain a routine: Consistent daily schedules help provide structure and a sense of purpose.
-Stay physically active: Gentle exercises like walking, yoga, or stretching can boost mood and cognitive function.
-Practice mindfulness: Activities such as meditation, deep breathing, or hobbies support relaxation and mental resilience.

Learning a new skill and giving back by volunteering or helping a neighbor are also great ways to boost your wellbeing. Let’s break the stigma, share information on resources, and encourage open conversations about mental health. We’re all in this together!

So many ways to give back! Springmoor is a tight-knit community that residents often describe as a “big family.” Residents volunteer in a wide variety of ways, both on campus and off. Examples of services independent residents provide to residents of Stewart Health Center include delivering mail; supporting disabled residents to the auditorium for special events and entertainment; bringing adorable pets to visit; and participating in holiday celebrations and “just for fun” activities with music and costumes. Independent residents also support each other with technical support with phones, TVs, and computers. They enjoy beautifying hallways and entrances with donated live flowers.

Popular off-campus volunteer activities include:

-Volunteering with USO at RDU Airport.

-Assisting patients and visitors at local hospitals.

-Delivering food to shut-in residents of Raleigh through Meals on Wheels.

-Supporting local cultural institutions such as museums and gardens in a variety of ways.
