Resthave also announced their first ever Shooting Star Award recipient: Stephanie Phillips of the Dietary Department! For this recognition, an employee must show the I CARE Principles: Integrity, Commitment, Attitude and Accountability, Respect, Excellence. This is what was shared about Stephanie:
“Today is a very special day as we come together to recognize one of our truly exceptional team members with our very first Annual Shooting Star Award. This award is given to someone who shines brightly in their role, uplifts those around them, and makes a lasting difference through their dedication and heart. This year, it is an absolute honor to present this award to Stephanie Phillips from our Dietary Department.
“Stephanie, you are the definition of a “shooting star.” Every day, you come to work not just to do a job—but to make a difference. In a setting like ours, food is so much more than a meal. It’s comfort. It’s connection. It’s dignity. And Stephanie, the care and pride you put into your work shows in everything you do. Whether it’s ensuring meals are prepared with accuracy and attention to individual needs, offering a smile or kind word to a resident, or stepping up to help a coworker without being asked, Stephanie consistently goes above and beyond. She understands that her role directly impacts the health, happiness, and quality of life of those we serve—and she treats that responsibility with respect and compassion every single day.
“What truly sets Stephanie apart is her heart. Residents know her. They trust her. They look forward to seeing her. Her warmth and positive attitude bring comfort not just to those she serves, but to everyone who has the privilege of working alongside her. She embodies teamwork, reliability, and professionalism, and she does all of it with humility and grace. Stephanie reminds us that excellence doesn’t always announce itself loudly—it often shows up quietly, consistently, and with kindness. Her dedication helps make this community feel like home, and her impact reaches far beyond the dining room. Stephanie, thank you for your hard work, your compassion, and your commitment to excellence. You are a shining example of what it means to care for others, and we are so grateful to have you as part of our team. It is with great pride and appreciation that we present the Annual Shooting Star Award to Stephanie Phillips.”
