Each fall, the Eventide Community comes together for our Annual Meeting – a time to reflect on the past year, celebrate the progress we have made and share the many ways Eventide continues to serve our residents, tenants and community. While the meeting includes plenty of important business updates and goals for the future, there is also time to celebrate the people and moments that make our campus special.
And, of course, we could not reflect on another successful year without recognizing our greatest asset – our team!
This year, six team members were honored for their dedication, leadership, teamwork and years of service to the Eventide Community: Doreen Adams, Debbie Martin, Daniela Oropeza, Amy Schultz, Kathy Tech and Shirley Tech.
Years of Service Awards
Kathy Tech was recognized for an incredible 40 years of service to the Eventide Community! Throughout her career, Kathy has served in roles including Certified Nursing Assistant, Certified Medication Assistant
and Extra Eyes. She is especially known for her compassionate and calming approach when caring for residents on Memory Lane. Kathy’s dedication to Eventide and the people we serve has made a lasting impact. Thank you, Kathy, for continuing to share your talents with us even after “retirement” and for the positive difference you continue to make in the lives of our residents and fellow team members!
Debbie Martin has been part of the Eventide Environmental Services Team for an amazing 45 years! Anyone who knows Debbie knows her friendly, cheerful personality is contagious. Her dependability is evident in the many shifts she picks up, her excellent attendance and her willingness to help wherever she is needed. Debbie takes great pride in her work, and her loyalty and commitment have made her a valued part of the Eventide team for nearly half a century. Thank you, Debbie, for all you do!
Excellence Awards
Doreen Adams was recognized with an Excellence Award for her unwavering dedication to our residents and her willingness to do whatever is needed to support her team. As Director of Nursing since 2007, Doreen leads by example – whether she is helping on the floor or assisting another department. Under her leadership, Gracewell has maintained a 5-Star CMS Rating and achieved a perfect state survey, reflecting a strong commitment to quality care and continuous improvement. Doreen is also known for being the calm one during stressful situations, providing steady support and confidence to those around her. Thank you, Doreen, for your leadership, teamwork and the countless ways you go above and beyond for our residents and staff.
Amy Schultz, Gracewell Administrator, was also honored with an Excellence Award. Since joining Eventide in 2007, Amy has grown into an exceptional leader known for her positive attitude, open-door approach and genuine care for residents, families and team members. Her leadership helped Gracewell achieve a zero-deficiency state survey this past year, reflecting her commitment to quality, teamwork and accountability. Amy is always willing to jump in, support her team and serve as one of Gracewell’s biggest cheerleaders. Thank you, Amy, for your leadership, positivity and all you do to make Gracewell better every day!
Cornerstone Awards
Daniela Oropeza and Shirley Tech received Cornerstone Awards, recognizing the qualities that help provide strength, stability and support to the Silveridge team.
Shirley Tech, Licensed Practical Nurse, is someone the Silveridge team knows they can count on. She consistently steps up when help is needed, takes on extra responsibilities and is always willing to lend a hand. Her dependability, caring nature and willingness to do whatever is needed make a difference not only for our tenants, but for the entire Silveridge team. Thank you, Shirley, for being someone we can always rely on and for the countless ways you help make Silveridge a better place.
Daniela Oropeza brings a true spirit of teamwork and compassion to Silveridge each day in her role as Tenant Companion. She is quick to step in, help a coworker, adjust when needed and go the extra mile for our tenants. She gives so much of herself without seeking recognition, simply because she cares about the people around her and wants to help. Thank you, Daniela, for your dedication, kindness and for being such an important part of the Silveridge team.
These six team members represent just a small part of the dedication, compassion and teamwork we see throughout the Eventide Community every day. We are grateful for the many ways our entire team shows up for one another and for the people we are privileged to serve. Congratulations to Doreen, Debbie, Daniela, Amy, Kathy and Shirley, and thank you for all you bring to Eventide!
