There are moments when the people who work behind the scenes to care for others get the recognition they deserve. For Maria M., a Lead Med Aide at The Ridglea Senior Living, that moment came in April, when she was awarded the Texas Assisted Living Association (TALA) Hero Award.
Maria, who has been with The Ridglea Senior Living since its opening in 2018, received the award after being selected among hundreds of med techs and caregivers across Texas. The recognition is given to those who demonstrate outstanding care, commitment, and compassion in their role.
“We are so lucky to have Maria as a part of our team,” Stephanie Williams, Executive Director at The Ridglea Senior Living, said. “She brings 100% every day to give to our residents while showing love and compassion.”
For Maria, the recognition was unexpected. “I was so surprised,” she said. “It really meant a lot getting the award. It was a really cool experience, and I am honored. I love working here.”
As Lead Med Aide, Maria plays an essential role in the day-to-day lives of the residents, ensuring their health and comfort. Her care and kindness have earned her the respect and gratitude of those she serves. Her selection for the TALA Hero Award serves as a reminder of the critical impact caregivers have on the lives of older adults.
Maria’s award is more than a personal accomplishment. It represents the dedication of The Ridglea Senior Living team to providing exceptional care for their residents, ensuring their well-being in a supportive environment.
“Maria sets the standard for what it means to serve with heart,” Williams added. “Her dedication reflects the mission we strive for every day — to treat every resident like family.”
