Glimpses of the Heart
- ExitRenee GuruleExecutive DirectorThe first senior I every loved was Grandma Celia. During summer visits to her home, I learned how to iron the pillowcases every week. More importantly, she taught me the meaning of family and the importance of building memories with loved ones. God gifted me with servant’s heart; what better way to use my gift than to care for seniors who paved the path for us and deserve only the best of care and utmost respect. Whenever the day is tough, I walk the community and am reminded why I do my job. Whether it’s singing “This Little Light of Mine,” listening to a resident play piano or just chatting, I walk away feeling rejuvenated.
- ExitJamie WrightWellness DirectorGrandma Margaret was the matriarch of our family, teaching many things, but above all to be kind, listen well and help where you can. I was raised by my grandparents and when they started to have health and memory issues there was no doubt I would be the one to take care of them. The radiant culture of MorningStar to selflessly serve struck a chord with me. The first time I toured North Ridge I could feel the compassion and love that the staff had for residents. I’ve never felt that at any other place I’ve worked. I want to serve each resident with compassion, dignity, respect and the grace they deserve.
- ExitKristin AcevedoDirector Community RelationsThe first Senior I recall loving was my paternal great grandmother, Mela. At 4’8” she was known to all the kids as Tiny Gram. I have 17 years of stories with seniors and every single one puts a smile on my face and warmth in my heart. The courage and wisdom seniors have humbles me in many ways. Understanding the aging process is fascinating. I have been able to take that knowledge and share with families, building trust and relieving stress as they deal with the challenges life has thrown at them.

If I could give more stars I would. North Ridge is a place where my father in law is truly understood, respected and treated with loving concern. A staff specially trained in dementia care is a huge blessing.
My father, Ernie, lived at North Ridge for 3.5 years. He recognized North Ridge as his home, and he was well-loved by all members of the care staff. My siblings and I became a part of the North Ridge family, as so many of the care staff loved not only Dad, but us also.
