The May Staff Spotlight shines on Neveah Valree , Direct Support Professional from the Bleetstein Residence at 306 Stupell Circle. In mid-April, the 306 Stupell Circle Team learned that one of the individuals they support, who had been
hospitalized, would be returning home under Hospice care due to declining health. During this challenging time, Nevaeh stepped up in remarkable ways. Nevaeh made it her mission to provide the highest level of care and comfort. She tended to him hourly, monitored vital signs, and ensured he had music and items he loved from happier, healthier days. Her presence brought comfort, conversation, and unwavering compassion during his final days.
