Briana’s journey at Ohio Living Moore spans ten years and many departments. She began as a medical records associate and later worked in housekeeping, culinary and resident services roles. Currently, she plays a critical role as the community’s social services designee.
“As the social services designee at Ohio Living Sarah Moore, I play a crucial role in helping our rehab patients return home safely, ensuring they have the necessary home health services, durable medical equipment and a follow-up with their primary care physician,” shared Briana. “I also assist people in applying for Medicaid and adjusting to their new living situation. Additionally, my responsibilities extend to our long term-care residents, ensuring they have access to ancillary providers, assessing their psychosocial well-being and developing personalized care plans.”
Cultivating genuine connections with residents, their families and co-workers is the best part of Briana’s job. “When I see a resident smile or thank me for helping them, I know I’m in the right place,” Briana elaborated. “We are a family here at Ohio Living Sarah Moore. I also enjoy taking part in the orientation to welcome new employees. I introduce myself, welcome new hires with a smile and tell them what a great place this is.”
Outside of work, Briana is a proud mom to four children – three boys and one girl – who bring her the greatest joy. She also has a mini dachshund named Winston and a cat named Milo. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, exploring the outdoors and taking care of her plants.
Notably, Briana is also working toward her bachelor’s degree in social work in the evenings, with plans to graduate by the end of this year or early next year.
