Here is a photo of one of our STNA,s Kelsa, with our resident, Sharon. Today (3.14) was the nicest day of the year, 72 degrees.  Sharon was looking outside, she in non-verbal, but Kelsa anticipated her desire, got her bundled up and took her outside. They did a loop around the parking lot, walking from the back of the building to the front. Sharon very much enjoyed this, she was smiling and happy to be outside in the warm sunshine. Kelsa has been with us for less than 6 months, but she has had a positive influence on our residents, they all love her and tell me that she provides great care and they can tell she really loves her job. We love to get our residents outside and having STNA's who take the time for them shows the residents how important they are to us.
