Artis Senior Living of Huntingdon Valley

I’m writing to formally recognize and commend an exceptional staff member at artist senior living of Huntington Valley, activities director, Rhonda Brown. My mother has been a resident at your facility for over two years. In addition, I bring a professional perspective to my observations as I am a state surveyor for long-term care facilities. My role involves evaluating staff performance and quality of care, so I’m well positioned to recognize when employee demonstrates truly outstanding performance. When I see someone who goes above and beyond in the way, Rhonda consistently does I feel essential to acknowledge it. Rhonda is nothing short of extraordinary. She clearly puts her heart and soul into her work, and it shows everything she does. While her title is activities director, her contributions extent far beyond that role. I personally observed her assisting with direct care tasks, such as helping residence change, assisting with meals, and offering comfort simply by sitting holding hands and engaging in meaningful conversation. Rhonda treats every resident with dignity, respect, and love. She meets each individual where they are, regardless of their stage in this difficult journey, and finds creative ways to engage them. Her energy is unmatched, she brings life, warmth, and connection into the building. She does not simply run activities, she creates meaningful experiences and fosters a sense of community. What sets Rhonda apart even further is that she does not operate within the mindset of that’s not my job, no matter the situation, no matter the neighborhood, she steps in the help that level of ownership and accountability is rare. As a family member there are very few individuals I fully trust with my mothers care. Rhonda Brown is truly one in 1 million. Her work ethic, compassion, and dedication. Set a standard that is difficult to match. She is, in many ways, the heart and soul of the artist community. I sincerely hope that her contributions are recognized and valued by leadership as much as they are by the family she impacts every day. Please extend my deepest appreciation to her for the extraordinary work. She continues to do. Sincerely Tarra Witte

I had the distinct pleasure of providing vocal entertainment at this beautiful edifice. Ms. Brown and her staff were extremely pleasant and professional!! The staff were wonderful participants during the entertainment and truly appeared to have had an AMAZING time. My interaction with the seniors leads me to believe that Artis is providing nothing short of quality care!

I want to Thank Jennifer for going over and beyond to assist in getting my Step-mom admitted to the facility. It's been a stressful time and transition for my Dad. We had some barriers with the paperwork but the team was on it and provided was to assist us. Thank you Jennifer for demonstrating compassion and kindness during this difficult transitional period.

It was a blast. The staff knows how to get involved!
