Celebrating Years of Dedication at the 2025 East Ridge Village Milestone Awards

At East Ridge Village, our community thrives because of the people who pour their heart, talent, and joy into their work every single day. On October 29, 2025, we proudly gathered in the auditorium for our annual Milestone Awards Celebration—a special afternoon honoring associates who have reached major service anniversaries, from 5 to 35 years of dedication.

With warm welcomes from Debbion McFarlane and heartfelt remarks from Executive Director Miguel Parks, the event set the tone for a celebration grounded in gratitude, community, and shared purpose. Guests enjoyed a delicious buffet-style meal before the highlight of the afternoon—the presentation of milestone awards.

This event is a reminder of what makes East Ridge Village truly unique: the people who choose to work here year after year, building relationships, creating memories, and making our community feel like home.
