Featuring Robin Pritts who is currently the Activity Director at South Fayette Nursing Center is Markleysburg, PA. Here is what she has to say about Don't Stop Dreamin'.
Don’t Stop Dreamin’ continues to
grant dreams for residents; a task that may go unnoticed by those who aren't a
part of it. However, for Robin Pritts, Activity Director at South Fayette
Nursing Center that isn't the case. “I have seen 22 dreams achieved,” Pritts
explained. “These dreams make a resident feel special, loved, and blessed.”
Don’t Stop Dreamin’ has granted
over 50 dreams in their three years as an organized 501c3 non-profit. The dream
granting process continues to evolve parallel to resident need,
but the effect of a dream granted remains the same. “My favorite part of the
dream granting process is informing each recipient that DSD has granted their
dream,” said Pritts. “Seeing and knowing how much these dreams mean and have
meant to each and every resident.”
Currently, DSD caters to the nine
Quality Life Services homes throughout Western Pennsylvania. A non-profit
founded on the need to eliminate boredom and loneliness merely mimics the camaraderie and family at the QLS company. The morale that DSD strives to follow can effectively make each home feel like family. Pritts offers what DSD means to her home
specifically. “It sets our home above and beyond from any other nursing homes
out there,” she said. “By offering and providing these dreams, our residents have
opportunities to fulfill the ultimate dream of their lives.”
Behind the scenes, DSD volunteers
and members work tirelessly to make sure each resident is made to feel as a
priority and how much their dream matters. Pritts shares her viewpoint on how Don't Stop Dreamin' changes lives.
“[If I could use one word to explain my perspective on dreams it would be]
Godsend,” she highlights. “I would like to share how blessed I feel to be a
part of this home and in particular DSD; their continuing efforts in making our
residents and their happiness a No. 1 priority truly touches my heart. [It amazes me] to see
the impact these dreams have made in the lives of our residents that the QLS Company,
DSD Board of Directors, and team members have made possible. I thank God for
all of you. Keep up this great work. For as you bless others you in turn reap
the greater blessing.”
