Why I love Grace
|
|
"Coming to work is the highlight of my day because it feels like I'm going to visit my mom and dad. Here at Grace, our residents are our pride and joy, and helping them enjoy life is what makes us happy."
~ Lewanda, Executive Assistant |
|
"If you love people, this is the place to be. I've been involved with nursing since 1975. I just love Grace Manor because of the personal involvement with staff, and the ability to get close to the residents. Grace Manor believes in educating its staff on how to get to know each resident. Because of this, there is a family atmosphere here. You can feel it as soon as you walk in. This is what makes Grace Manor unique. This is why I work here."
~ Cynthia, Assistant Director of Nursing |
|
"I'm a real party girl! I love all the entertainment here."
~ Dorothy, Resident |
|
"Grace feels like home, and that's important here. Because of my position, I get to see a lot of what goes on here at Grace on a daily basis. And this is what I see: our staff members are always smiling, our residents feel at home, and our administrators and board members see Grace as a family, not as a place. There's nothing like coming home everyday to Grace."
~ Mike, Payroll Administrator |
|
"At Grace Manor, activities are cultural Arts. There's lots of food, lots of music, our residents get up and dance! We're not just playing bingo. Our Cultural Arts program is individually tailored to meet the unique tastes of our residents – from Irish and Hispanic to African American. We create a fun, energetic atmosphere for our residents who tend to be younger – in mind and in body – and more diverse than other health care communities. We plan day trips, involve local schools, and really work hard to serve our residents' needs."
~ Jackie, Director of Cultural Arts |
|
"I love the challenge of being in a position that supports nursing. I like the direct involvement here."
~ Marge, Director of Medical Records |
|
"Grace Manor has a history that is like no other. The virtues held by my friend, Pastor Houston Williams, are still alive in these halls today. You feel loved as soon as you walk in. When my friend, Reverend Houston Williams visited three of his sick and elderly parishioners, he saw a desperate need for a culturally sensitive nursing home in Buffalo. After years of work, and together with community support, we have prevailed. Grace Manor is the living embodiment of Pastor Williams' dream. And, there's more good news for the future – just wait and see!"
~ Peter, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors |

"'Join the caring hands of Grace' - nothing could be closer to the truth and it shows! I have never been a part of such a caring and family-like atmosphere anywhere. The staff is second to none, working together towards our common goals as a team. I am proud to be part of The Manor."
~ Chris, Plant Operations Manager |
|
"Opportunity is what Grace Manor means to me. Grace Manor gave me the opportunity to start work in my newfound field."
~ Ruby, Data Entry Clerk |
|
"Grace Manor staff come with their sleeves rolled up, ready to get to work, and ready to make a difference! We're about changing peoples' lives. Everyone knows you at Grace, we're like a big family. There’s always a story to tell, and no one ever lets you get down. I left factory work and took a pay cut to work in health care. Now that I'm at Grace, I love it so much that last year I only took three days vacation."
~ Jeff, CNA and Range of Motion Aide |
|
"Other nursing homes have an 'Activities Department.' At Grace, we have a 'Party Department.' What else makes Grace stand out? Our energy. Our committed staff. Our diverse residents. Sure, we might not have limousines pulling-up in front, but we've got everything else you need to make this your home."
~ Robin, Cultural Arts Special Care Coordinator |
|
"I tell everyone, 'This is a great place to work, and if you come here, expect to work hard!' This is a professional organization that is all about peoples’ lives."
~ Rhonda, Resident Care Coordinator, 1st Floor |
|
"It's a wonderful place to work. We honor and respect diversity; we have a great location and I feel a real sense of commitment to the organization and its goals."
~ Darlene, Director of Human Resources |
|
"As you walk down Grace Manor's halls, you will see war heroes who fought for our country. You will see men and women who fought for our civil rights. These residents created our present day. They suffered through discrimination, poverty and war. They fought for the rights that the young take so callously for granted. Do not pity them, respect them. Do not resent them, care for them. Do not dismiss them, cherish them for they are not a job to be done, but a person to be respected."
~ Kathy, Director of Social Work |
