🌟 Staff Spotlight 🌟

Please help us recognize Miss Sylvia Pacheco in this week’s Staff Spotlight!

Sylvia has been a dedicated Care Partner here at Best Care Senior Living for 5 years, and during that time she has built such meaningful connections with our residents. She truly has a heart for caring for seniors and always goes the extra mile to make sure their needs are met.

Outside of work, Sylvia enjoys listening to music — especially salsa, cooking delicious meals, and gardening. She is an amazing cook and loves spending time doing the things that bring her joy.

Our residents absolutely adore Sylvia, and her compassion, kindness, and dedication make a difference every single day.

Thank you, Sylvia, for everything you do for our residents and our community at Best Care Senior Living! 💙

On Wednesday, March 4th, our residents enjoyed a very special visit from Jamie with Barnyard Babies! 🐷🐾

Everyone had the opportunity to hold and spend time with some adorable little animals, including a baby pig, a chinchilla, and even a baby kangaroo! The smiles and laughter throughout the room were priceless as residents got to cuddle and interact with these sweet animals.

Moments like these bring so much joy and create wonderful memories for everyone here at Best Care Senior Living. Thank you, Jamie and Barnyard Babies, for such a fun and heartwarming visit!

We had an eventful and fun-filled week here at Best Care Senior Living!

Our residents enjoyed a little friendly competition with miniature golf, Bingo, ping pong basketball, and volleyball. We also continued working on our Shamrocks Across America project and were thrilled to welcome Caring K9’s for another wonderful visit that brought plenty of smiles and comfort.

A special thank you to our guest performer, Kelly Even, for stopping by and sharing her beautiful music with us — our residents truly loved the entertainment!

Wishing everyone an amazing weekend ahead. Happy Friday from all of us at Best Care Senior Living! 🍀

🌟 Welcome to the Team, Sheila Ballard! 🌟

Please help us give a warm Best Care welcome to one of our newest Med Techs here at Best Care Senior Living at Lecanto — Sheila Ballard!

Originally from Bluffton, South Carolina, Sheila joined our family at the beginning of the month and has already made a wonderful impression. She is full of ambition and has been doing an outstanding job settling into her new role.

Sheila is amazing with our residents, providing care as if they were her own family. That level of compassion and attentiveness does not go unnoticed — and we are so thankful to have her on our team.

In addition to serving our residents, Sheila is also a proud member of the Army National Guard — a true testament to her dedication and strength of character.

Outside of work, Sheila enjoys:

Swimming

Reading

Listening to country music, classic rock, and R&B

Eating her favorite food — pizza 🍕

Her hidden talents include drawing and dancing — we may have to see those skills in action at a future activity!

Her favorite quote says it all:

“No matter where life takes me, you’ll always find me with a smile.”

Sheila, we are excited to have you as part of the Best Care family and look forward to watching you continue to grow in your role.

Welcome aboard! 💙

🌟 Resident Spotlight: Miss Marilyn 🌟

This week we are honored to shine the spotlight on our sweet and faithful Miss Marilyn.
Originally from Steubenville, Ohio, Marilyn’s story is one rooted in love, devotion, and strong family values. In the 1960s, she met and married the love of her life, her late husband Charlie. Together they built a beautiful life and raised three wonderful daughters in Orlando, Florida.

For 25 years, Marilyn faithfully served as a secretary at a family-owned business, demonstrating dedication, loyalty, and a strong work ethic. But beyond her professional life, Marilyn’s greatest joy has always been her role as a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.

One of Marilyn’s lifelong passions is singing. For decades, she lifted her voice in her church choir, sharing her love for music and worship. To this day, she still enjoys singing, especially gospel quartets, and you can see her light up when the music starts. 🎶

She also enjoys games and puzzles, keeping her mind active and engaged. Most importantly, Marilyn’s Christian faith is the foundation of her life. It guides her, strengthens her, and remains a defining part of who she is.

Marilyn loves reminiscing about her late husband and her children, and her eyes sparkle when she shares stories of her family. Her love for them is unwavering and evident in every conversation.

We are so blessed to have Miss Marilyn as part of our Best Care family. 💙

✨ Please help us welcome our newest Care Partner to the Best Care Senior Living family, Kenyata Coleman! ✨

Kenyata is young, enthusiastic, and eager to learn her new role. She has already shown how attentive she is to our residents’ needs and isn’t afraid to ask all the right questions when she’s unsure—something we truly value here at Best Care.

Originally from Lecanto, Florida, Kenyata enjoys singing and listening to music, especially old-school R&B. Some of her favorite treats include Kit Kats, pizza, and trail mix!

We are so excited to have Kenyata join our team and are confident she will settle right into her role and become a valuable member of our Best Care family. Let’s give her a warm welcome and help her feel right at home! 💙👏
