🌟 Staff Spotlight Series – Week 4 🌟

Recent data confirms what we already knew — Aspire at Cahaba River is the highest volume SNF in all of metro Birmingham… and for good reason!

💬 Our guests fall in love with the beauty of the facility.
🤝 Families appreciate the accessibility and compassion of our management team.
💉 And referral sources trust us for delivering exceptional clinical care with outstanding functional outcomes.

Managing that kind of volume takes more than just excellence, it takes coordination. And that’s where our two Admissions Office air traffic controllers, Ashley and Cherise, come in! ✈️🗂️

🎓 Ashley – A proud Bama alum, gifted communicator, and relationship-builder who makes incoming guests and families feel welcomed and cared for from day one.

📋 Cherise – One of Cahaba’s longest-tenured team members, a true expert in insurance navigation and authorization processes. Her knowledge keeps things moving and stress levels down.

We’re incredibly grateful for both of these powerhouse professionals who keep our admissions process running like a well-oiled machine. 💙

Thinking about short-term rehab? Stop in or schedule a tour and let Ashley and Cherise show you the Aspire difference!

👨‍🍳🍽️ Week 3 Staff Spotlight: Dreek & Kia — The Dynamic Duo of Dining! 🔥

"What should we do for dinner tonight?" — we all know the stress behind that one simple question. Now imagine being responsible for 120 dinners, every single day. Likes, dislikes, allergies, temperature preferences... oh my! 😅

Luckily, our Week 3 Staff Spotlight team brings the perfect blend of skill, heart, and a whole lot of seasoning to the table!

Dreek is a former restaurant franchise owner who brings an extensive background in kitchen operations, adding flavor and finesse to every dish.

Kia, a tenured dietary clinician, ensures that every meal supports each guest’s nutritional needs and rehab goals — all while building meaningful connections along the way.

Together, they’re a sizzling success, and our guests love seeing (and tasting!) the passion they pour into everything they do. Just don’t challenge either to a cook-off… unless you can handle the heat. 😉🔥

We’d also like to give a special shoutout to Heavenly Donuts of Vestavia Hills for providing the delicious donuts and coffee that made the morning even sweeter. 🍩☕

We’re proud to support our local businesses and appreciate the chance to build relationships that go beyond care.

Kai, our Unit Manager, and John, our Executive Director (a long-time Hoover resident) especially loved visiting with neighbors and familiar faces from the community and their church family. Thank you again for having us! 💛

💥 Staff Spotlight: Week 2! 💥

This week, we celebrate Tony, our Director of Plant Services and Aspire Cahaba’s very own superhero. From HVAC rescues to generator saves, Tony keeps our nearly 100,000 sq. ft. campus running smoothly. His secret power? Suspenders that even James Spann would envy. 😉

Real heroes don’t wear capes… they wear suspenders!
So what do you think, James Spann? Who rocks them best?

Thank you, Tony, for your hard work, heart, and superhero-level dedication. 💙

🌟 Aspire Cahaba is proud to kick off our spotlight series by celebrating our incredible Wound Care Team! 🌟

While it’s not always in the spotlight, wound care is one of the most essential aspects of rehab and post-acute care. At Cahaba, we are fortunate to have not just one, but an entire team dedicated to this specialized work.

Together, they bring:
✅ 109 years of combined nursing experience
✅ 48 years of wound care expertise
✅ Multiple specialty wound care certifications

This level of skill and dedication is why patients and providers across the Birmingham metro (and beyond) trust Aspire Cahaba to deliver results. A huge thank you to Breanna, Meghan, Susan, Teresa, and Yolanda. Keep up the amazing work! We are proud to have you!!💙

Stay tuned for the next department highlight in our series 🙂
