Employee Spotlight: Celebrating Michelle

We are proud to recognize Michelle as Stonebridge’s December Employee of the Month.

Michelle brings warmth, positivity, and dedication to everything she does. She consistently supports her coworkers and, most importantly, our residents. Her kind heart and bubbly personality make a meaningful difference in daily life at Stonebridge, and we are grateful to have her on our team.

Know Your Neighbor: Reza

This month, we’re highlighting Reza, a cherished resident who has been part of the Stonebridge community for over a year and a half. At 99 years old, Reza is looking ahead to celebrating his 100th birthday this September.

A lifelong soccer fan who once played on his hometown team for 11 years, Reza is eagerly anticipating the upcoming World Cup. He is immensely proud of his five children and values education, peace, and health above all else.

His advice to others:

“Try as far as you can, have peace, and remember that your health is everything.”
