The month of March is known for St. Patrick’s Day, the return of daylight savings time, unpredictable weather, and of course… Social Work month! Here at Mountain Vista, we have our Social Services department which consists of two wonderful team players; Sabrina Langstraat and Sarah Preston. Our Social Services team members work incredibly hard, with their main goal being to advocate for our residents’ needs and overall well-being. With such a strong passion for helping others, it’s evident that the Social Services department has a long-lasting impact on our community here at Mountain Vista. Each day in the department is unique, involving interactions with different residents, family members, and individual care plans.

Sabrina, a Social Services Assistant at Mountain Vista, shared that her favorite part about working in the department is getting to know each resident personally and helping them adjust to living here by introducing them to all that we have to offer. She finds her role incredibly rewarding and feels like she’s truly making a positive impact on the lives of our residents and their families. “I know I am making a difference in the lives of these residents when they are happy to see me every day, and that they are comfortable to come and talk to me about anything.”

We are so grateful for the dedication and hard work of our Social Services department. Sabrina and Sarah play a crucial role in fostering a supportive and caring environment for our residents. Their commitment to advocating for the well-being of others is commendable. Thank you, Sabrina and Sarah, for all that you do for our residents here at Mountain Vista!
