As we welcome a new month, we are so excited to recognize Ellen Palumbo, a member of our Housekeeping department, as our March employee of the month! Ellen has been a member of the Marywood Heights family for a little over 2 years. Making it through the cold is tough, but Ellen is looking forward to the onset of spring and summer. Ellen is a diehard 49ers fan, and…fun fact! She was born on April Fool’s Day! Ellen has been married for over 40 years, has two wonderful children and a grandson who is getting ready to graduate with honors. She also had 2 dogs that drive her absolutely crazy! Ellen’s favorite part of working for Marywood Heights is being able to see the residents every day, hearing their stories from long ago – recognizing how they were and how that has made them into how they are today. Ellen’s looking forward to her retirement years, seeing her husband get well where she and her husband can take a vacation to someplace warm. She is most proud of how she cleans our resident's rooms. Ellan strives to take care of them no different than if they were her own close friend or family member. What advice would Ellen give a new hire? It seems overwhelming at first, but it gets easier with a good schedule and being able to do what you can do. Thank you, Ellen!
