At Atria Carmichael Oaks, going the extra mile isn’t just encouraged – it’s celebrated. Just ask Aalyah Rodriguez, a Resident Medication Assistant recently honored with the California Assisted Living Association’s (CALA) Excellence in Service Outstanding Caregiver Award.
Meet Aalyah: an example of excellence in action
Aalyah has been part of Carmichael Oaks for nearly two years, and her impact is felt every day. Known for her dedication, kindness and professionalism, she brings both heart and skill to every shift.
Whether she’s training new staff or comforting a family during hospice care, Aalyah leads with compassion and integrity.
“She’s thorough. When she starts something, she starts at 100% and finishes at 100%,” says Kayla Davis, Executive Director at Carmichael Oaks, who nominated Aalyah for the award.
On top of her role at Atria, Aalyah serves in the National Guard and is a full-time nursing student, working toward becoming a licensed vocational nurse.
It’s people like Aalyah who make Atria special.
Leadership that sees you – and celebrates you
At Atria, it’s not just residents who feel cared for – team members are supported and
celebrated for the difference they make.
“She’s just really great,” Kayla says. “And she didn’t even think she deserved the award. But that’s what makes her so special. She’s not doing it for recognition. She’s doing it because she cares.”
That commitment doesn’t go unnoticed. Atria is always looking for team members who lead with empathy, even if they’re just getting started in senior living. As Kayla puts it, “We can teach you the technical skills. If you come in with honesty, compassion and a heart for service, we’ll help you grow.”
