Cedarhurst Senior Living Shines
AT NAAP CONFERENCE
In April, five Cedarhurst Senior Living team members traveled to Dallas to attend the 2025 National Association of Activity Professionals (NAAP) Conference — a premier event dedicated to advancing the work of Life Enrichment professionals across the country. Representing Cedarhurst were Tara Powell, Director of Education & Engagement; Stacy Christiason, Life Enrichment Director at Cedarhurst of Topeka; Irina Rokhmistrova, Life Enrichment Director at Cedarhurst of Dyer; Emily Foshee, Life Enrichment Director at Cedar Creek of Muncie; and Kristen Recchia, Life Enrichment Coordinator at Cedarhurst of Yorkville. NAAP offers activity professionals practical education and tailored resources for a wide range of senior care settings, including independent living, assisted living, and memory care. The annual conference provides valuable opportunities to share ideas, build connections, and enhance the skills that create joy and meaning for residents. This year, Cedarhurst proudly had five nominees across three national award categories: Irina Rokhmistrova and Samantha Seitz of Cedarhurst of Canton (Activity Professional of the Year), Amy Therrian of Cedarhurst of Breese and Randall Wilson of Cedarhurst of West Plains (Quality of Excellence), and Kristen Recchia (Rising Star Award). We’re proud to share that Kristen took home the 2025 Rising Star Award, a national honor recognizing new professionals who are already making a major impact. Kristen’s energy, creativity, and heart for service exemplify what Life Enrichment at Cedarhurst is all about.
