💙✨ Meet Our Team: Rebecca Tester ✨💙

We’re proud to introduce Rebecca Tester, our incredible Assisted Living Life Enrichment Director at Deerfield Ridge!

Rebecca has been part of the Deerfield family for 18 years. After earning her CNA in high school, she began her healthcare journey as a 2nd shift CNA. As opportunities grew, she discovered her true passion in life enrichment, where she now helps create meaningful, joy-filled experiences for our residents every day.

When asked what she loves most about her role, Rebecca shared:
“The chance to get up each day and help residents find joy and opportunities in life. We come to Assisted Living to ‘live,’ and that’s what I want residents to be able to do for as long as possible—to find joy and happiness however we can each day.” 💛

Outside of work, Rebecca enjoys spending time with loved ones, reading, and crafting.

Thank you, Rebecca, for your years of dedication, compassion, and the joy you bring to our community. We are so grateful to have you as part of the Deerfield family! ✨

🍦😄 Frozen Yogurt Mission Accomplished! 😄🍦

The residents of Deerfield Ridge set out on a very important outing—a mission for frozen yogurt at Sweet Frog!

There were lots of laughs, plenty of sprinkles, and some very serious decisions about toppings… chocolate or fruit? Gummies or cookie crumbles? Why not a little bit of everything! 🍫🍓🍪

By the end of the visit, cups were full, smiles were even fuller, and it was clear the sweet treat was a huge hit. Some might even say our residents are now official frozen yogurt experts! 💛
