LeadingAge Ohio was proud to recognize 75 STARS honorees from 18 organizations during the Northeast STARS Awards at Mapleside Farms in Brunswick, Ohio. The annual event honors frontline care partners whose work supports older Ohioans every day, including nurses, nurse aides, medication aides, drivers, maintenance staff, IT professionals, dietary aides, cooks, and other team members who keep care and services running across the region.
This year’s event brought those teams together for an afternoon of recognition, with Taco Tuesday and Cinco de Mayo adding a fun touch to the celebration. Each honoree reflects the steady, person-centered work that makes a difference for older adults and families every day, and it was a privilege to recognize so many of the people behind that work.
