HOLIDAY GREETINGS FROM SUE AND WARD
Dear Friends,
"Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around."
Leo Buscaglia, author
The days leading up to the holidays are always filled with "specials" of all kinds...75% off sales, Black Friday, Cyber Monday...and the list goes on. As we sit here penning our December holiday letter on "Giving Tuesday" (November 27), Leo Buscaglia's message speaks to both of us as we hurry about trying to make this the best of all holidays. This seemingly "high state of energy" (some may call it holiday stress) often detracts from the true significance of this time of year.
The flurry of shopping we do for the Home's residents may seem daunting to some, but is such a joyful act for us because it delivers a powerful message - we care! Each personalized present delivered by Santa speaks to our commitment to empower those we serve to live life to the fullest. These tangible gifts are but a visible symbol of the work we do every day to "turn a life around" or to bring joy to a resident. Our LLDH Home family of caregivers act compassionately and tirelessly to actualize the words of Mr. Buscaglia. It is this spirit and these acts that truly embrace the meaning of the holidays.
We wish for each of you, our friends and our families, the joy of the season. May your holidays be filled with gifts of kindness and caring.
Sue and Ward

The Home Welcomes New Human Resources Director
We are delighted to give Rosie Carter a warm welcome as the new Director of Human Resources.
Rosie has spent the last eleven years as the Human Resources Director at Transitional Care Center (formerly known as the Washington Nursing Facility.) Her career in Human Resources started at Providence Hospital and Carroll Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center where she worked her way from Human Resources Assistant to Manager of Human Resources. Rosie states that, "working with the Sisters of Providence Hospital helped build my love for caring of the sick, poor and vulnerable." She holds a Master's Degree in Public Administration and an Undergraduate degree in Business Management.
Outside of work, Rosie enjoys spending time with her four stepdaughters and twelve nieces and nephews. Now that her stepdaughters are older, she has time for her recently adopted Peek-a-Poo puppy, Sweet Pea, who keeps her very busy.
