Deanne Hirshfield started her position as health center concierge at the Terraces of Los Altos on May 1, 2024. Read below to learn about Deanne’s experience and impressions of HumanGood.

What drew you to HumanGood?  

When I read the job description it really talks about what is in it for me, that HumanGood is a large non-profit to the senior living community, and to be provided with an opportunity to become our best selves. It’s an opportunity to bring your best work ethic to serve the retirement community.  It’s having compassion and caring for people to understand their needs.  We are here to serve others.

What about HumanGood’s culture stands out to you?

Everyone here has a shared sense of purpose.  Not only the work and how it helps achieve the long-term goals of the company, but also why the work we do every day is meaningful. 

How do you see our mission of inspiring the best life in action?

It's what we do every day, we have passion to support and succeed as a team, we are open to different viewpoints to improve ideas and plans for better success, we always do the right thing even when it's hard. We speak up when something doesn't seem right, we are always searching for better ways to serve our residents and team members to become more efficient, and most importantly we hold ourselves accountable for great results each and every day.  

What do HumanGood’s values (impact, passion, courage, inclusion, and innovation) mean to you?

I hold myself accountable each and every day that I am doing the absolute very best to serve our residents and team members with respect, compassion, and great understanding. I am always looking for ways to better service our residents with fresh new ideas.  At the end of each day, I know that I am making smiles.
