Celebrating Our Activity Team

_{February 2, 2023}
In honor of National Activities Professional Week, we wanted to highlight our awesome Activities Department at Pine Grove! Thanks to our team of activity professionals, our residents get the opportunity to make new friends, stay active and engage in much more than just Bingo. Our activity programs are resident-centered, meeting individualized needs, keeping residents constantly engaged, and, most importantly, helping to improve their overall quality of life.

Our activities at Pine Grove help our residents thrive and make every day fun. Whether someone just needs to get out of their room to socialize or they have a specific activity in mind, our team makes it happen. Our Activities Department is a perfect example of our core value, "It's all about the goal, not about the role," making our residents' needs a priority.

Meet our Activity Team that makes all the difference!

Jamie - Activity Director

Jamie has been such an asset to the team, fulfilling any resident needs and even helping out in other departments. She not only brings happiness to residents but the staff too. She makes sure to step in and help if someone needs an extra hand around the facility.



"I love seeing how even the little things we do bring such big smiles to the residents' faces. Just spending quality time and listening to their stories makes my heart smile. The bonus is, we get to have fun while working."

- Jamie

Cindy - Activity Assistant

Cindy has been with our Activities Department for many years, assisting with activities, events, outings and so much more. Lisa goes above and beyond her duties inside the facility by going the extra mile to show care and compassion to our residents. She has taken residents to doctor's appointments and even picked up items while she was out just to save a trip for someone else.



"I enjoy working in Activities as it gives me the opportunity to help the residents forget their problems for a while. Whether it's playing Bingo, making crafts or listening to music, it is great to see them engaged and having fun. I like putting smiles on their faces, but I also enjoy having one-on-one talks when they just need a sympathetic ear. Activities also fill in a lot of places that help the staff and give the residents extra support. This is why I love Activities."

- Cindy
