Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the traditional off-campus luncheon to honor the award recipients was not possible. However, in addition to service awards, each recipient was presented with a meal gift card, and Walnut Hills produced a recognition video to honor the team members’ commitment to service and care.
When honoring the 17 service award recipients in the recognition video, supervisors and fellow team members described the recipients as “kind-hearted, wonderfully dedicated, respectful, thoughtful, calm and approachable, compassionate, comforting, focused, friendly, and willing to go above and beyond.”
“The 17 individuals we honored represent more than 240 total years of service to the residents and families of Walnut Hills,” said Rob Aneshansel, executive director. “Each one of these team members does an amazing job each day of serving others, and each is a blessing to our residents and their families and to their fellow team members.
