We're proud to introduce you to Esther Ruma, Health & Wellness Director at Tranquillity at Fredericktowne in Maryland.
A refugee from Burma, Esther came to the U.S. with a passion for caring for older adults. These values, rooted in traditional Burmese family structures, helped launch her nursing career in California, working in memory care and learning from mentors who pushed her to grow.
Her compassion continues to shine at Tranquillity, where residents are excited to see her each day – and Esther wouldn’t have it any other way. She finds joy in simple moments of connection with them, like potting flowers, decorating for the holidays, and sharing stories together.
Her advice to those interested in a career in senior living? "It’s rewarding and fulfilling work. Even when you have a challenging day, it feels good to serve others."
Thank you, Esther, for the dedication you bring to work every day!
