Ohio Living Mount Pleasant Employee of the Month for July

Posted on July 11, 2022 in

Our employee spotlight for July is Amanda! Amanda is one of our Directors of Culinary & Nutritional Services. “I oversee the culinary servers here on campus. Our servers serve meals at Cafe 210 for our independent residents. We also have servers in the main building serving meals to our nursing center and assisted living residents.” Amanda began her career at Ohio Living Mount Pleasant in November 2019 as an Assistant Culinary Director. “I was promoted to the position of Director of CNS Front of House in October 2021. The culinary department is a big part of life here at Mount Pleasant. We have Cafe 210 that serves our independent residents in a restaurant like atmosphere, giving the residents an opportunity to mingle with neighbors while enjoying their meals. The culinary department is often included into events here on campus from wine dinners for residents to cook-outs for staff.” Amanda explains the most rewarding thing about her job are the residents. “Our department has the benefit of delivering cakes and pies, so the residents are happy to see us. Sometimes it is just stopping for a quick conversation with the residents or bringing their favorite snack that can brighten their day." Furthermore, Amanda provided some insight into her family life. “My husband and I have three daughters. Lily (23), Gabby (19) and Raiden (16). We have two dogs Daisy and Bella, and a parrot Kiwi. I enjoy spending my free time with my family. We enjoy traveling and seeing different parts of the world. We also like to camp when time allows.” Lastly, Amanda offered advice for those who are thinking about healthcare as a career. “The healthcare field is not for everyone, but I encourage anyone considering it to try it. Especially in a retirement or long-term care community. The residents are friendly and happy that you are here. We are constantly being thanked for the work that we do, by the people that we do it for, nothing is more rewarding than that. Plus, you get to work with some awesome people along the way.” Please take a moment to thank Amanda for all she does!
