Celebrating Our One-year Anniversary!

It is hard to believe that MorningStar at Englefield Green just celebrated our one-year anniversary.  It has been an exciting time for all of us as our growth has been quick and we have had the privilege of welcoming many new residents into our Englefield Green family.      

The year has seen had many “first” such as our community joining MorningStar of Boise for an Alzheimer’s Awareness event.  Our Paint and Sip night not only raised money for a great cause but everyone involved thoroughly enjoyed themselves whether they were sipping, painting, or doing both at once.  We love having our two communities work together. 

Moreover what’s not to love about residents, their families and team members having a great time at MorningStar of Englefield Green’s inaugural Sock Hop where we sipped on delicious root beer floats and danced to great music?  Take a look at our home page picture of residents Pat and John “dancing the night away.” 

This month we celebrated Thanksgiving with a wonderful family dinner on November 17th.  Afterward were entertained by the Swingin’ with Ellie Shaw Show that featured her hauntingly beautiful, vintage voice and violin. 

During the year we have also had some personnel changes and additions such as our new Reflections Coordinator, Alisi Tongamoa, who will lead our care team.  Alisi had worked at MorningStar of Boise for four years as a lead Med-Tech and we are excited to have her join us.  Danielle Markham, LPN, will serve as our Wellness Nurse and brings lots of administrative experience to our community.  Finally, Susan Stuart, RN BSN, will serve as our Wellness Director.  Susan has an extensive resume as a nurse and most recently was at Karcher Estates Skilled Nursing in Nampa.
