Touchmark

Touchmark communities are amazing places because of the wonderful people who live and work within them. Our mission—to enrich people's lives—is brought to life by the dedicated team members who eagerly return to serve each day. Today we continue our series highlighting the longevity of Touchmark team members. Join us in appreciating all they do to uplift the residents and their fellow team members. Each one embodies what it means to be an ally, friend, and giver. Next up is Jennifer Taylor! Jennifer planned to work at Touchmark on South Hill in Spokane, Washington for only 3 months. She is still here 28 years later. She's worked in Housekeeping, Laundry, and Home Care. She has a wonderful husband, four fabulous children, four very large dogs, and two cats. “I love the residents, my boss, and all of the coworkers that I get to work with. I love to do my job the best I can and to help others with their jobs. Interested in a career at Touchmark?

This Veterans Day, we were honored to recognize the sacrifices and bravery of Touchmark residents who served our country. In addition to meaningful ceremonies held across all Touchmark communities, highlights included special events at Touchmark at Coffee Creek and Touchmark on South Hill, as well as heartfelt cards hand-delivered by Eagles Elementary students to the veterans of Touchmark on Harwood Groves. These moments remind us of the importance of honoring our veterans' legacies and fostering intergenerational connections. Thank you to KOCO News, KHQ, and Valley News Live for sharing these touching celebrations. https://lnkd.in/gcrD4ZYG https://lnkd.in/gcRBdV37 https://lnkd.in/gdUhbcKw

Thank You, Veterans. Veterans Day is an opportunity to reflect on and show appreciation for the many sacrifices service members have made in the name of our nation. On this Veterans Day—and every day—we are grateful for their service and are honored by the veterans who choose to call Touchmark home. #ThankYouVeterans

At Touchmark, we like to celebrate team members and share "WOW Stories." These stories are specific examples of an interaction or experience that shows the incredible lengths a team member has taken to solve a unique problem, delight or go out of their way, and typical job responsibilities in service of others. Examples can include planning a milestone celebration, after-hours help, volunteering extra help during a crisis or inclement weather, visiting someone in need off-campus, celebrating a legacy or life in a special way, and so on. Today's WOW Story comes from Touchmark at Emerald Lake in McKinney, Texas. A new resident at Touchmark at Emerald Lake, John, reported to the front desk that his freezer was not working, causing his food to thaw out. Housekeeping Manager Daniel Krones was one of the first to respond and confirm that the freezer had stopped working, causing the items to spoil. As our Building Services Technician Carlos Ulloa worked to swap refrigerators quickly, Daniel thoughtfully took pictures of all the food items that had been ruined. He then made time to go to the same grocery store personally and retrieve matching items to bring back to the resident. Unfortunately, one item was unavailable, but Dan worked with the store to determine when it was expected and then returned on a different day to pick it up. The resident was very impressed with the level of service and commented on how this validated his decision to make Touchmark his home. Dan, thank you for the attention to detail. #SeniorLiving #RetirementCommunity #Touchmark
