Remembering the life of our beloved Maintenance Coordinator, Larry Cox.🕊️ We are heartbroken over the loss of our associate and dear friend, Larry. Larry served the Edencrest brand for over 8 years, working at every one of our locations at some point during his tenure with the company.💚 Larry was the kind of guy who made everyone feel like they were the most important person in the world. He could figure out how to make ANYTHING work and never said no to a request. "Anything for you, darlin!" was his favorite retort. We will honor and share fond memories of Larry in a Celebration of Life gathering, held at Edencrest Kettlestone on Thursday, August 15th from 4-7 pm in the 2nd-floor lounge & patio. ✨ We welcome you - friends, family, and colleagues to attend and share your favorite memory of Larry.

✨ Associate Spotlight ✨ Meet Diamond, our Resident Assistant at Edencrest at Kettlestone! Diamond came to the US from Liberia when she was just a toddler. At the age of 3, she joined her grandmother in pursuit of a better life. She is being sworn in as a US Citizen on August 24th - CONGRATULATIONS!🎈🎉🇺🇸 When her grandmother was caring for HER mother (Diamond's great-grandmother) she relied heavily on Diamond to help care for her and translate their native language with caregivers. She has a sincere love for our greatest generation and enjoys listening to their stories. She especially loves how they interrupt themselves (or each other!) in the middle of a story and switch gears out of nowhere. Diamond is the proud mama of 2 darling children, a 7-year-old girl and a 4-year-old boy. They also have a Siberian husky at home, so her "mom life" is busy! She spends as much time as possible with her beloved grandmother who lives just a few minutes away. Diamond worked at a nursing home for 2 years before joining us at Kettlestone. She is a certified medical aid and loves her role here as a Resident Assistant. She is especially fond of her supervisor, Tesse Lester. She says Tesse is the best boss she has ever had, which makes work even more enjoyable. Thank you for being a part of our team, Diamond!💚 #spotlight #edencrestkettlestone #seniorlivingcommunity #seniorliving #waukeeseniorliving
