🧧💥Happy Lunar New Year! 🎉💥

What is Lunar New Year?

Lunar New Year celebrates the start of a new year on the lunar calendar, which follows the moon’s phases rather than the solar cycle. This cherished festival is filled with family reunions, prayers, festive meals, and traditions that invite good fortune.

In 2026, Lunar New Year falls on Tuesday, February 17, marking the Year of the Horse, one of the 12 zodiac animals in the lunar cycle. Each zodiac animal carries its own traits, including the Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig.

The Year of the Horse symbolizes energy, confidence, freedom, and forward movement, making 2026 a year focused on progress, action, and new opportunities.

🌟 Outstanding Service Excellence – Jody
This award recognizes a team member who does not provide direct resident care but consistently goes above and beyond to support our mission. Jody’s behind-the-scenes dedication, professionalism, and willingness to step in wherever needed make a meaningful difference for our residents, families, and team every day.

💖 Outstanding Resident Service – Carrie
This award honors a team member who provides direct care to residents. Carrie exemplifies compassion, patience, and respect in her daily work. Her commitment to high-quality, resident-centered care reflects the very heart of our mission and enhances the quality of life for those we serve.

⭐ Outstanding Leadership – Devin
This award recognizes a director, manager, or supervisor who leads with integrity and purpose. Devin demonstrates strong leadership, accountability, and support for both residents and staff. His guidance and example help foster a culture of teamwork, trust, and excellence at Cornerstone.
