I have worked at Heritage Lane for the last two years and it has been two of my best years working anywhere. So leaving and going down a different career pathway was one of the hardest decisions. The residents at HL are not only amazing they are family, family that I love and protect as my own. Each and every single resident has their own uniqueness to them. I have grown into a better woman because of them. I have been taught to be a little kinder, love a little more, patience, to just laugh and be happy because tomorrow is not promised. Not only the residents, but the staff. The staff that has been there as long as I have or longer are seriously one of a kind. It takes some special, amazing people to work in a behavioral atmosphere and the ones who have been their I can't speak more highly of them. They truly care for the residents. My heart is filled when I hear residents telling staff "I love you" or having nicknames for caregivers "Sylvia boom boom" lol you just don't get that anywhere else. There has not been a day I woke up dreading to go to work or while at work counting down the hours/minutes to leave. Shout out to Reed because I also have never worked at a company where the owner has taken such great care of his employees and residents. If there's ever an issue he has always taken the time to listen and made me feel like I mattered and handled the situation like a boss and found a solution that works for the issue. Like for real he takes care of his employees... Christmas party, bonuses, randomly buying all the employees lunch, and during this pandemic has taken so much time to send out emails to families, employees, making sure the community is safe, clean and covid free. I personally couldn't imagine having to be in charge of all that and have to take all that negativity towards people who may not understand what he's doing or why he's doing it, but I get it and I would do the same thing for the ones I love. I could go on and on about how truly amazing HL residents and staff have been. Overall I have been blessed to have had the opportunity to work at Heritage Lane, my heart has an everlasting impression. read more
