March Employee of the Month

_{March 26, 2025}
This month, we are thrilled to recognize Katharine Learn from our Dietary Team as our Employee of the Month! Katharine has been a valued part of our facility for nearly two years, and in that time, she has proven to be a dedicated, hardworking, and invaluable team member who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure our residents receive delicious, well-prepared meals.



When Katharine first joined the healthcare field, she admits it was for the paycheck, but over time, she discovered a genuine passion for caring for residents through her cooking. Now, she finds joy in prepping meals and hearing compliments from residents who love her food. Her strong work ethic, friendly personality, and willingness to take on extra tasks make her a key part of the Dietary Team. Coworkers and residents alike describe Katharine as a dedicated, hardworking, and welcoming presence in the kitchen, always going the extra mile to ensure meals are not only nutritious but also enjoyable.

Katharine's motivation comes from her coworkers and the residents she serves daily. She describes her career in three words: Fulfilling, Teamwork, and Cooking. One of her favorite memories was the first time she received a compliment on a meal she prepared—a moment that solidified her passion for the job. Originally from Ashtabula, she has worked in three different kitchen positions and even received a promotion for her dedication and skills.

Outside of work, Katharine enjoys watching TV, writing, and reading. She is also a proud pet parent to her cat, Gerard, and hamster, Sookie. Looking ahead, one of her biggest dreams is to travel around the USA and explore new places.

Katharine, thank you for your dedication, hard work, and passion for serving our residents. Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and we are so grateful to have you on our team!
