Glimpses of the Heart

ExitPaul GozonExecutive DirectorWhen I consider the seniors who have had the most influence on me, I think of Dutch, from 27 years ago when I was a caregiver in Willoughby, OH. Dutch was one of the residents who embraced me as his own. He was very thankful for every little thing. Caring for him made me realize that I make a difference. Albert Schweitzer once said: The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others. My values align with those of MorningStar. When I read about its origins and Founder Ken Jaeger’s inspiration, it gave me goosebumps. Our mission says a lot about what we stand for as a company.

ExitRosana FriasAssoc. Executive DirectorGrowing up close to my grandparents had a great impact on my desire to serve seniors. The memories that our seniors share help us to understand life, stimulate our development, and evaluate ourselves in a positive way. The first senior I ever loved was Grandmother Anastacia, who I called Abue. Hers was an unconditional love. She taught me respect, honesty, humility and to always work hard, but above all, to love and honor God. MorningStar honors God by loving and respecting the dignity of everyone.

ExitMarian MorrisWellness DirectorMy calling to serve seniors began with my grandparents. While the years brought outward changes in them, their hearts remained the same. I felt nurtured and safe with them. When I look into the eyes of a senior, I see my grandparents and that fills me with immense love and compassion. I was attracted to MorningStar when I saw the passion of senior leaders for the company. The vision of MorningStar is one I want to join for they truly invest in helping their team achieve their highest potential. I feel more welcomed and supported than anywhere I have worked in 25 years as a nurse. The camaraderie is amazing.

ExitCiara QuierrezDir, Community RelationsWhenever I’m in conversations with seniors, it’s humbling to hear their real wisdom and realize there’s no shortcut to finding it, except by living a long, rich life of discovery, learning what love truly means and how to make time for what matters most. I’m always drawn to creating that personal connection with seniors. They teach me how to let the beauty of what you love be what you do. It means so much to be part of a team that makes a difference in people’s lives under our roof and across the globe.
