Best Senior Living Community — Angie Hunt
Posted by Angela Hunt, RPT, MS, Executive Director, The Cedars
Just the other day, at the 9th Annual Cedars Auxiliary Golf Tournament, an elderly gentleman came up to me and said, “You probably don’t remember me, but you treated me and my wife at the Sam L. Cohen Rehabilitation Center. Your staff was so kind and compassionate and we are both doing so much better because of the great care we received. Thank you so much for what you do!”
My name is Angela Hunt and I am Executive Director at The Cedars. I oversee the daily operations of the Hoffman Center, home of the Sam L. Cohen Rehabilitation Center (39-bed short-stay rehabilitation) and the Skilled Care Center (63 long-term care beds). I also oversee 30 assisted living apartments at The Osher Inn.
You might think that this is a tremendous responsibility, but working with competent and professional staff certainly helps. I love my job so much that I have been at The Cedars for a total of 12 years.
Most people who know me might say that I am always looking to develop and improve our programming for seniors. I like the challenges that the field of healthcare provides me. But, the real reason I do what I do is because of the relationships fostered with patients, residents, family members and staff.
Artist Flavia Weedn once said, “Some people come into our lives and quickly go, some stay for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same.” I am very blessed that working at The Cedars gives me the opportunity to not only to leave but also to receive many footprints. And that’s the reason I do what I do!
