Leadership for Inspired Living

"The residents and staff are why I work at Lambeth House.  The residents are each a story unto themselves and offer an incredible opportunity to learn about life.  The staff are some of the best, if not the best people, with whom I have worked in my career.  I have never had a day that I was not eager to get into work and be part of this great community."

"I really appreciate the moments when I help a resident's family understand the aging process and move to a new level in their relationships."

"Why do I love working at Lambeth House? After a 12 hour day, I get in my car and have a huge smile on my face and I say to myself, 'That was a good day, everyone was happy!'"

"I hold dearly to the fact that my mission is to serve the residents and not to change them.  My job is to listen and be there for them."

"What I like about working at Lambeth House: Interacting with such a diverse group of people; reminiscing about classic New Orleans cuisine with the residents; it’s nice to be in my old neighborhood, again, close to the river and the railroad tracks."

"I love doing happy hour for our residents on Friday!  It’s their special time to visit with each other and staff as well."
