Employee Appreciation Day: Meet Our Assisted Living Team!

 

It’s Employee Appreciation Day and we’d like to give “Ah groisen dank” (a big thanks) to all of our staff members throughout the Jewish Community Housing Corporation. All of our residents are in the right hands, thanks to your hard work, dedication and compassion. A special shoutout is in order for a few outstanding staff members from the Lester Senior Living community. If we had to describe the staff at Lester Senior Living in particular, it would be that they are a team that doesn’t really stick to titles or positions. They aren’t afraid to pitch in with tasks that are outside their comfort zone. Every department provides a helping hand to one another which is truly an incredible thing to see. Without further ado, let us introduce a few (of the many) wonderful staff members from the Lester Senior Living community in Morris County, NJ. 

Nettie Leander – LPN/Medical Secretary

Nettie is dedicated, enthusiastic and truly our ‘go to’ person. Nettie is the true definition of a “Universal Worker.” She dances with the residents, shares health knowledge wherever needed and goes above and beyond for our residents and family members.

Sergio Serrano Perez- Wait Staff

Sergio is loved by everyone. He crosses over in so many departments and never hesitates to jump right in. The residents think the world of him as he not only focuses on exemplary dining service, but also socializing and adding to their day in the most meaningful of ways.

Ann Marie Bass- Concierge Service Manager, Lester Independent Living

What can I say about Ann Marie? She is everything! Why? Because she truly does it all. When it comes to customer service she covers all ends of the spectrum, from returning calls promptly to making sure every resident makes the most out of their assisted living experience with JCHC.
