Activities Director

Beth Gardner

My name is Beth Gardner and I have recently taken the position at Morningview as the New Life Enrichment Coordinator. My passion for working with the Elderly began many years ago when visiting my Grandmother in the facility she lived in the last years of her life. I saw how the things they did were helping my Grandmother adjust to her new environment. I have had a career in healthcare for 20 years. I started by doing home care then went on to work in assisted living. From there I became a certified CNA, but my passion was always activities. The places I was employed allowed me to also do some activities. I then moved into a position as Activity Assistant in a specialized care facility. My passion continued to grow and I took the course to become an Activity Director. I have worked in Assisted Living, Independent Living, Specialized Skilled Care and Memory Care. I love what I do and always strive to create an environment for our residents here at Morningview that brings them joy and purpose. I am very excited about the person-centered care program we have engaged in here. Always feel free to stop and say hello, or to ask me any questions. You likely won’t find me in my office, but out with our residents enjoying whatever the day brings!
