🌟 Employee Spotlight: Shala 🌟

Since joining St. Barnabas in August 2020 as a PCA, this team member has continued to grow and make an impact. In 2022, she transitioned into an administrative role and now serves as Office Coordinator.

While her responsibilities have changed, her passion for the work remains the same—supporting residents and staff. Having experience both on the floor and in the office gives her a well-rounded perspective and a deep appreciation for the dedication it takes in every role.

With over 10 years of experience in this field, she has learned the importance of patience, compassion, and the powerful impact that even a simple smile can have. She takes pride in building meaningful relationships with residents and their families and feels grateful to work alongside some of the strongest people she knows.

As she says, “Growth feels different when you grow with purpose.”

Outside of work, she’s a proud mom to three daughters (14, 12, and 4) and enjoys cooking new recipes, spending time outdoors, drawing, and making memories with her family. 💙

World Music Therapy Week!

🎶 Celebrating World Music Therapy Week 🎶

At The Arbors Personal Care Community, we see firsthand how powerful music can be. From sparking memories to lifting spirits, music therapy brings comfort, joy, and meaningful connection to our residents each and every day.

Regina, a professional violinist, accompanied by guitar, performed traditional Celtic music for our residents. The room was filled with smiles, toe-tapping, and the joy that only live music can bring. 🍀🎻

Whether it’s singing along to a favorite song or simply enjoying the moment, music has a beautiful way of connecting us all. 💙

We are so grateful for the happiness and companionship our therapy animals bring to our community—because sometimes the best medicine has four legs and a loving heart. 🐶🐾
