Ridgeland Place Seniors Recognize Caregivers Through Sweet Gesture

“I can make a difference in everyone’s life,” said Angela M. She’s been a caregiver for five years and currently works at Ridgeland Place. “I want to help them and let them know they’re not alone.”

The love she has for the older adults in the senior living community is mutual. But it was still a surprise when several residents put together beautiful and elaborate gift bags to show their appreciation for Angela’s hard work every day.

Miracle S., who just began her career path as a caregiver, was also on the receiving end of the sweet gesture. She hopes to also make an impact on the seniors who call Ridgeland Place their home. “I want to be more loving, be more caring,” she said. “And show them something different that they haven’t seen or experienced.”

The two unsung heroes were recognized on National Caregivers Day, which occurs on the third Friday of February each year. It was just one small moment to acknowledge the bond between the older adults and their caregivers, who often develop a fruitful relationship as days turn into weeks and months.

“I’m just here for whatever they need me for,” Angela added. “Whether that’s to reminisce or help them do the things that they can’t do, and let them know I’m a listening ear.”

“The compassion and dedication that our caregivers bring to Ridgeland Place is truly inspiring,” said Michael Ryan, Executive Director. “It’s heartwarming to see our residents recognize and appreciate the hard work and kindness that Angela, Miracle, and so many others provide every day.”

“The connections they build go beyond care — they create a sense of family, which is what makes our community so special.”
