Milford Baseball Game

A summer day well spent!

Residents recently attended a baseball game and picnic dinner at the Milford Meadows Field. The residents were the guest of the Cincinnati Eagles who played the Cincinnati Stingers, both 12u teams. The boys were a little nervous to have such a large audience but enjoyed entertaining their guests.

The Eagles won the game and both teams serenaded the residents with an energetic, cheerful rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame." A perfect ending to a beautiful night out.

The residents had their sea legs and smiles ready for a fun-filled day aboard the Belle of Cincinnati! They enjoyed lunch, music and a cruise. The leisurely ride down the river allowed them to see many sights along the Kentucky and Ohio riverbanks. The sun was warm, the trip was relaxing and the weather was perfect!

25 Years of Service!

In 1984 when Angie Girdler applied at the Alois Center, she had no idea that the housekeeping job she started would, in two years time turn into a rewarding STNA career of 25 years.

At first her job was all about location, the facility is close to home, but it changed as she came to know the residents and staff. While working in housekeeping she developed relationships with residents and felt a genuine desire to be a caregiver. She attended the required classes to obtain her CNA/STNA. Angie knew she found her place, where she is supposed to be and has never dreamed of changing fields or her chosen career. Her job has never been about the money, it's about the residents and the positive outlook she can bring to their lives. Angie has worked all shifts at Alois and has been on third shift for the past seven years. She enjoys the quite and peaceful time with the residents. She goes beyond just giving the needed care; she has formed genuine friendships with residents and has become a trusted confidant for them to lean on, trust and love.

In 2007, Angie was diagnosed with Cancer. She recalls the cards and many phone calls she received from all staff. These memories still warm her heart. The illness gave her an appreciation for life, her family, friends and all the things we tend to take for granted. It was a tough battle and she is Cancer Free!

Angie feels appreciated, listened to and said; "Management cares what I have to say, they take my concerns seriously." She expressed that her voice has made a difference in the lives of the residents and here at the facility as a whole. Over the years she has seen positive changes made for the residents and staff because she was allowed to express herself and make a difference. And for Angie that's what it is all about, making a difference! When asked: "Where do you see yourself in ten years," she replied; "Right here, doing the same job. Personal satisfaction will always keep me here."
