Elliot Ervin is very thankful for the television commercial he watched back in 2017. At the time, he had a job that he didn’t love, and he had a longing to work in culinary somewhere. When he saw a commercial about Danbury, Elliot immediately decided to apply, hoping they would have a culinary position available.
Elliot got the position he wanted, and he’s been a cook and server at Danbury Massillon for six years now. He finds the job to be the perfect fit for him — no more machines or products, just helping people every day!
Smiles are important to Elliot and being kind and pleasant comes easy.
“I’m there to put a smile on the residents’ faces, to make them feel good every single day, Elliot said. “Attending to the residents is the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done.”
Elliot says he pays close attention to make sure each resident has exactly what they want to eat and drink.
“My favorite part of my day is when they tell me I make them smile, when they tell me they appreciate me,” Elliot said. “And it happens
all the time — they tell me, and their families tell me.”
Another big reason for Elliot’s good mood at work is his coworkers.
“All of them are down to earth. We work together as a team. The managers are great, and it feels like one big family.”
Elliot values honesty, loyalty and open communication most in a workplace, and he’s grateful to see these things at Danbury every day.
Danbury encourages employees to work hard and to have fun while they do it.
Elliot feels lucky to have found Danbury, but we feel we’re lucky to have found Elliot. Across all of our StoryPoint Group communities, employees like Elliot help make our communities great.
