Alta Ridge Assisted Living

I wanted to share with you the good times i have had at working at alta ridge assisted living. this is Marvus (left) she is one of the funnest lady i have ever met. she give the most amazing back rubs. she is always trying to get you to smile if you are not. she told me that she was a model in a previous life and show she decided to show off her wonderful skills. if you ever need advice for anything you go to her. she will tell you straight up what you are doing wrong and what you need to be doing to make it right. and you don't mess with her, she is one hard core lady. she looks small and nice but she has got a kick in her.

This is Bob, he is one of our new Residents, i feel in love with him the moment i met him. he loves being around people. when everyone goes to bed he wants to be up and talk, which i love because it can get just a little boring when nothing is going on. He told me stories of his life when he was young and at my age, we have life so easy now. at my age he wasn't going to go to school he was home helping his dad at the farm. he met his wife at a dance when he was 23 and she was 18, they didn't get married till he was 25 and she was 20. he said that she was so beautiful and he could never love anyone else (except me).














This is Violet, she is 93 years old and still kickin'. she is so nice. she is always concerned about everyone else, even if she is the one that needs the concern. the other day i wasn't feeling very good so i sat down on the ground and she wheeled herself over to me and asked if i was alright and the rest of the day she was like you need to eat or you need to sit down you are going to get worse. she is like my grandmother. she is so tough her sister just passed away and she said she knew she would she her again and that there is no reason to be sad ans that she is looking down on her now.




This is Mimi, she is always thanking us and making us laugh. we sit by her at the dinner table and she tells us that we should be eating more and we are to skinny and we are going to brake in half. her glasses are broke on one side, she does not have the piece that holds it on he ear so she is always holding her glasses up. she always prays for us at night when we put her to bed, she tells us to drive safely and not to be dumb. then she will pray to heavenly father and tell him to bless us. she is way cute.



This is Shannon (another CNA) she has become one of my closes friends at work. she is so funny. no matter how mad or upset i am she is always making me laugh and smile. her husband works for a company that is rivals with my dads company, so we are like Pocahontas and john smith trying to bring peace to the world!! hahahahaha












This is Jeanne Goodall. she is a way nice lady. she never bothers anyone. she just keeps to herself. she drinks these Muscle Milks and she always try's to get me to drink them so i finally did and they are NASTY!!!!!! but they do have 27g of protein which is really good.


This is just another picture of marvus close up. i am going to cry when i have to go to school and leave all my buddies and work. i love this place. i don't ever want to leave. Older people have so much knowledge we just have to take the time to listen! :(
