#EngAGE25 Celebration ~ #Stories from our team ~ Thanks to EngAGE Program Director Arnold for #MakingADifference at Piedmont Senior Apartments. A resident recently submitted this glowing review which we received via Legacy Partners, the management company for that community: "The 5 star review is for Arnold Schmidt, our Activities Director. He is an absolute gem. I have been living here at the Piedmont for over 22 years. Have seen several Activities directors come and go. None hold a candle to Arnold. He is kind, caring, and very insightful as to what activity is needed for the benefit of the residents. Frankly, Arnold deserves his budget to be increased.... Again, 5 stars for Arnold*****" ~ Ilene #ChangingAging #PositiveAging
