Hi Jen! Yes, the staff are definitely the lifeblood of facilities, and certainly for our loved ones! I am so very grateful for the director, the nurse, the medical aides, the caregivers, and even the housekeepers / cleaning staff! In addition to personal thanks and written notes, many facilities have staff funds that are used for team building, staff appreciation, etc. This is another great way to give back to the community of caregivers!

I especially like that you suggest checking in with the staff. So many of the facility staff have become surrogate family to our loved ones over the last year and have gone the extra mile to help “normalize” an anything but normal year. They are definitely appreciated!
