    • Michael Blackwell has a teammate story to share.
      • “Last week the Ciscor system went down at Jackson.  Gentry and Luis both came over quickly to begin trouble shooting.  They made calls and worked for hours to ensure the system was back up and running smoothly.  They both had already worked their normal daytime hours and they both stayed late to remedy this issue.  Then they both stayed after that working on other items.  We don’t always see what others are doing and I think it’s important to share with everyone what these two team members did last week. They both displayed loving people by ensuring the safety of residents with getting our call system fixed.”
    • Billie Collins had a voicemail from a sweet resident at FCA who shared the following praise report about Fred Yarbrough.
      • “ I have a praise report for the wonderful van driver who took us to vote this morning.  He made sure we were the first ones there to vote today.  He picked us up at 6:15 am and not only took us to the voting location but he helped us with our walkers and stayed with us.  He helped us tremendously. He is wonderful.”
  • Make it a great day on purpose!
