Quarry Hill Honors Nursing Assistants
Nancy Marcille, RN, BSHA, practically lights up when she speaks of the approximately 75 certified nursing assistants (CNAs) who care around the clock for patients and residents at Quarry Hill, the Camden retirement community where she serves as director of nursing.
Kicking off the community’s celebration of Certified Nursing Assistant Week, June 16–23, Marcille called CNAs “the unsung heroes—the heart and soul— of healthcare.”
“They’re the world changers,” she continued. “Their kindness, caring, and commitment impact the lives of everyone with whom they interact. They are the ‘constant’ andthe foundation of senior care. CNAs are the people who are at the bedside, ready to help, to listen, to fill in for family when family can’t be there, and to share news from the larger community. They’re the eyes and ears of our professional nursing staff, helping pick up on subtle changes related to each person’s well-being.”
