Life is a journey; you really never know when you cross paths with someone who you will become friends with. I am at The Spearly Center where I am supposed to be no doubt about that. How often do you run in to someone who has the same heritage as you in work place? Well it is happening now at Spearly.
Having the same French Heritage as Jean Pierre, I do believe this has contributed to Jean-Pierre's success here at The Spearly Center . I am very humbled and blessed by working with J.P. and his wife Maria. The timing was perfect when Mr. Barat made a decision to transition to the Spearly Center from an Assisted Living community where he previously resided for several years. With the help of our wonderful Leadership Team, particularly J.P's social worker Tasha Alexander, and our information technology /first impression Manager Marie Lopez ,our NHA Sue Pappas and the rest of our team, we were able to help Jean –Pierre get packed from his old home, and get settled in to the Spearly community.
Through out his transition, Mr. Barat's main focus was, and continues to be, taking care of his wife Maria who has been residing here at Spearly for almost two years. During this entire time, Mr. Barat came to visit Maria daily, often dining with her. J.P. enjoys being here at Spearly and enjoys speaking his native language (French) with the Community Relations Director whenever possible. The Spearly Center continues to nurture the spirit of life of those we serve.
