Meet our therapy gals!
"I shadowed an OT when I was in school, and her love of the profession sparked mine. Lafayette Pointe has been my favorite place of employment. I have been doing this for 8 years now! I feel that Lafayette Pointe does so much for the staff and residents. We are one big happy family. I enjoy knowing and helping my patients and residents recover here and returning to do something they love. My favorite memory here has been when my grandmother came for rehab, and the Shark Week Party was epic."
"I thoroughly enjoy the elderly population which is what led me into transitioning to long-term care. We have a friendly and caring staff here. I enjoy coming to work and ensuring that the best possible care is given every day. The team is wonderful. My favorite memory here has to be all the relationships we have formed with the patients, residents, and their families. When I am not working, I am at home spoiling my niece, Kora, and my two fur babies, Belle and Buck, the Frenchies!"
"When my daughter was young, she had a delay and received OT, and she encouraged me to go to school to be a COTA. I was a single mom at the time and with the support of my mom and family I did and have loved every minute of my 25-year career. Our team here is caring and loving. We put the needs of the patients first. I am motivated to help patients meet their goals and to return home. This is a great place to be."
"I wanted to be a PT since I was a high school athlete, and the opportunity to do so and help people from my hometown became the perfect position for me. Lafayette Pointe has been my 'home' for many years, and I have had many friends and family who have come here for rehab and been more than pleased with their experience.
It has also been a great place to work for the past 16 years. Our staff is compassionate and dedicated to providing quality care and helping our patients in any way we can. I have met a tremendous amount of wonderful people, both patients and some staff, and usually find some connection to them through family and or friends. In my spare time, you will find me spending time with my family and my furbabies!"
"Growing up in the therapy world sparked my desire to become s SLP. Knowing I am helping patients improve their quality of life and meet their goals is such a gift. Our therapy team is awesome and loves to be involved with the other staff members and happenings in the facility. My favorite time here is around Halloween. The facility and staff decorate, and we have a trick-or-treat event that I bring my son to. This facility has been one of the best buildings to work at."
We are grateful for everything you do to support both our residents and the broader community. Each of you is a huge part of our team and we are so lucky to have you five with us. Keep up the amazing work!
