Glimpses of the Heart

ExitJadon KreinhederSenior Executive DirectorI was raised by amazing caregivers, Mom and Grandma Sarah. Their witness of serving others inspires my own today. Grandmas Sarah gave me a love for cooking and baking and has set the bar (that I've yet to reach) as to what a home chef is. She was always my special person. I love helping seniors receive all the love, respect and fulfillment they deserve. What stood out to me about MorningStar was the genuine nature in which everyone talked about the culture. I knew it was where I wanted to be.

ExitMelisa TapiaAssoc. Executive DirectorAlthough my grandma Margaret wasn’t a senior when she began raising me, the word “Grandma” seemed fitting from a child’s point of view. She was the first “much older” person to love me with compassion and unconditional love. Picking pecans, roasting chiles and laughing with her are my favorite childhood memories. It wasn’t until she was diagnosed with cancer that I found my calling to serve and care for senior generations. The knowledge, wisdom and history they have experienced and express in stories is something I treasure.

ExitClaire RainwaterDirector Community RelationsAs an only child, I’ve always preferred the company of adults. While Mom traveled for work, I would spend a great deal of time with my grandparents. I was eight when Nana started having health issues; from that point it was my loving duty to care for her as she had cared for me. Instinctively, I knew what to do. When she passed, my new calling was Granddaddy. As his dementia progressed, taking care of him (eventually as a MorningStar resident) will forever be my greatest blessing and honor.

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.
