Meet A Senior Care Worker in Reno, NV
Hi Jessica! Why did you choose to work for Pegasus Senior Living?
I’ve worked under other senior living management teams, but Pegasus Senior Living purchased our community in 2018. I have stayed with Pegasus and worked with my same team off and on for the past 13 years.
It has been so rewarding to work with people that feel like family and that I can call family. I love working in the senior care industry, and Pegasus Senior Living has made this transition very easy and comfortable.
Why is the work you do important?
Because it makes others feel important, and we fulfill their needs and desires. Health care and senior living are so important to me because helping others is a fulfilling life journey.
What does senior living mean to you?
Senior living means taking care of seniors to the best of our ability and being a resource for seniors and their families. Taking care of seniors is a life-changing experience and a blessing. I enjoy making a difference in people’s lives and helping all with integrity and compassion.
