Today, we’re sitting down with LaRay Fayad, VP of Sales, for a conversation that goes far beyond metrics and market strategy. LaRay brings a deeply human perspective to what it means to honor dignity and privacy in every interaction — from the first inquiry call to the everyday moments that shape a resident’s experience.

Your dedication strengthens our communities, supports our teams, and helps us deliver on our promise of compassionate, resident‑centered care.

The theme for this year’s National Skilled Nursing Care Week is Moments in Bloom. At first glance, it may seem abstract — but as the American Health Care Association explains, “Moments in Bloom” reflects how everyday acts of compassion, connection, and teamwork grow into meaningful experiences for residents, families, and staff. It reminds us that both big and small moments, when nurtured, can flourish into purpose and joy.

In many ways, this theme mirrors our own guiding standard — Every Person Is Crucial (EPIC) and the 4C’s that define Focused Care. Skilled nursing thrives when every individual, in every role, performs with intention and accountability. Your Contribution strengthens the resident experience; your Congruency ensures our actions align with our mission; your Commitment provides stability for residents, families, and colleagues; and your Competence upholds the quality of care that distinguishes our communities.

Just as nature’s blooms are temporary yet transformative, the moments we create in skilled nursing are fleeting but deeply meaningful. When a resident laughs, when a family shares a memory, when a colleague offers support — these are our moments in bloom. They remind us that excellence in care is not only measured by outcomes, but by the human connections that make those outcomes possible.

As you celebrate Skilled Nursing Care Week, I encourage you to notice and nurture these moments. For many of the residents you serve, you are the beauty, color, and vitality that make life meaningful.

Thank you for your professionalism, your compassion, and your continued dedication to the EPIC standard that defines Focused Care.

As we recognize Nurses Week, I want to extend my deepest appreciation to the nurses who serve across our Focused Care communities. Their work is the foundation of long‑term care, a blend of clinical excellence, compassion, and unwavering dedication that shapes the daily experience of every resident and family we serve.

Our nurses live out our organizational values in powerful ways. They embody our EPIC standard — Every Person Is Crucial — not as a slogan, but as a daily commitment to dignity, safety, and human connection.

They also reflect the strength of our 4C’s:

Contribution through the skill and heart they bring to every shift.

Congruency in the way their actions consistently align with our mission and values.

Commitment in their resilience, steadiness, and willingness to go above and beyond.

Competence in clinical judgment and expertise that ensure our residents receive the highest quality of care.

To our nurses: thank you for the lives you touch, the comfort you provide, and the professionalism you demonstrate in moments both routine and extraordinary. Your work is essential, and your impact is immeasurable.

To our partners: thank you for supporting our mission and standing alongside us as we honor the nursing professionals who make Focused Care stronger every day.

With sincere gratitude,

Lori Strubbe
