In celebration of National Caregiver's Day, we are honored to share an Employee Spotlight on one of our Certified Nursing Assistants, Summer Cox. Â Summer was one of the very first members of our care team since opening in November 2019. Â From the very start, Summer has embodied the spirit of our building and goes above and beyond every day for our community.
Summer Cox & Ms. Wrenn
Summer is from Walterboro, SC and was raised in Sarasota, FL. Â Growing up, Summer always loved taking care of people. Â After watching her sister thrive in this industry, she decided to begin her journey as a caregiver. Â After completing her certification to become a C.N.A. in 2014, she started her career in senior living. Â She has previously worked at the Veteran's Victory House and at Bishop Gadsden before joining our team at Indigo Hall.
While working full-time providing care for our residents, Summer also has interests in cosmetology and will test for her full license soon. Â She relates doing hair to caregiving by saying, "I still get to take care of people when I do their hair and makeup. I love caring for others." Â If working full-time and studying for her cosmetology licensing wasn't enough, Summer also is enrolled at Trident Technical College for nursing. Â She aspires to continue her education for future opportunities in senior living including potentially an administrative role one day.
Summer loves being a part of the innovations at Indigo Hall. Â She enjoys the sense of family between all who come through our doors. Â Summer says, "Residents, staff, and guests are so grateful for the services we provide here. I am so happy to work under the direction of Kim and help make a difference in our community." Â In her free time, Summer loves spending time with her dog Scrappy, doing hair, and eating seafood.
Our residents love Summer's bright energy every morning. Â When asked about Summer, a resident stated, "She's a good one. I love that Summer is always smiling." Â Our Director of Nursing, Kim Bonner boasts, "Our residents and their families are lucky to have such a dedicated caregiver like Summer. Â She is compassionate, attentive, and an all-around wonderful person."
Thank you to our entire team at Indigo Hall for providing care for our residents. Â We are all caregivers in different ways and we are so thankful for the opportunity to care for others.
