As we wrap up 2023, we reflect on months past and what lies ahead with our community’s journey.
If you recall, our Personal and Professional Development Coach, Michael “Buck” Buckley. Challenged us to pick a “Word of the Year” in January 2023. Buck asked us to look inward and consider what we need more of or what might improve our lives. The time has come to revisit our Word of the Year for 2023. To explore its impact on Vitalia North Royalton. Whether you’ve been an active member or are just joining us, this retrospective journey invites us all to celebrate the past year.
Our community Word of the Year for 2023 was ‘regeneration.’ We achieved many successes throughout the year, living in line with our word and improving the community. We experienced notable success with The Great Place to Work and Great Place to Live surveys and Trick or Treating. Don’t want to forget our first annual Holiday Tree Lighting ceremony. At our Family Carnival, participants generously contributed to the Alzheimer’s Foundation for the chance to “pie me” in the face.
I believe we lived out the word. This accomplishment stems from our consistent efforts to keep residents and staff well-informed. This commitment to transparency and open communication has played a crucial role in creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that reflects our dedication to excellence.
I’m eagerly anticipating the entire year ahead with excitement for all the events and traditions we will have the privilege of hosting. The only thing I might be more excited about would be continuing to build upon my relationships with all staff, residents, and families.
As we bid farewell to 2023, we will carry forward the essence of our Word of the Year into 2024. The successes and strides of our community, the embodiment of our chosen word in our collective actions, are not just markers in time but a testament to the strength of this community.
I look forward to catching our 2024 Word of the Year blog soon!
