Our Caregivers At Eastridge:Well Beyond Ordinary
Whether it’s cooking a local dish or dancing with a resident, our caregivers bring their unique personalities to the Eastridge community, offering residents an all-around charming experience.
Our caregivers take the time to learn meaningful details about each resident, creating a true one-on-one bonding experience. We truly understand what makes our residents light up, helping relationships with residents blossom into true friendships. Whether it’s giving words of encouragement, playing a rousing game of bingo, or reading pages aloud from their favorite novel, we go to great lengths to keep our residents smiling. This philosophy of personalized care makes it easier and more enjoyable for our residents to reach the goals they set for themselves.
