We always talk about how Runk & Pratt isn't just facilities or communities, but is one big family. People like Janie are what make that happen each and every day.
Today we celebrate this amazing soul who was one of the original employees that opened our Smith Mountain Lake building with us 14 years ago in 2008. She has been more than a blessing to everyone around her and continues to improve the lives of these seniors in every way possible. Janie definitely has a gift to make people feel loved and cared for and we are beyond thankful to have her be such a big part of this company and journey. Thank you for all you do Janie, we love you!❤️
Janie is amazing! Thank you for you do daily! 💞
Gail Trinkner Gawor Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to take care of your Mom and to know your sweet family! Miss you!💕
Janie LeMaster Chaney miss you too!
Janie, thank you for being you! So provided a bright light each day for my mom, sister and me.
Our 6th annual Runk & Pratt Alzheimer's Golf Tournament at Ivy Hill was an amazing success this past weekend!⛳ So many talented and competitive golfers took to the course to raise money for an incredible cause to help #EndAlz! Thank you to all who participated, sponsored, and helped organize this event! We even had a special appearance from the first ever Miss Virginia Volunteer to share her heart about this cause as well💜 We are proud to be a champion of awareness for this disease and hope you consider learning more about it and/or donating to the Alzheimer's Association directly!
There's nothing better than seeing our seniors enjoy community with each other! Here at Runk & Pratt, we are more than just facilities, we are family. A family that takes pride in hosting activities together, eating meals together, and so much more. And we are thankful to have such amazing, top of the line facilities to do all of this in. #seniorliving #wearefamily
During the inaugural Miss Virginia Volunteer pageant this year, the first ever C.R.O.W.N. Award was presented, standing for Community Responding to Our World in Need.👑
The Miss Virginia Volunteer organization strongly stands on its 5 points of the crown - S.E.R.V.E. With Volunteerism being one of those points and with the pandemic affecting so many, it was important to honor someone who displayed this most important pillar.
We are honored to have the recipient of this award be one of our very own, Crystal Kersey. She is the perfect reflection of this award and all it stands for. Her near-endless strength and compassion is the perfect cornerstone to build our legacy on. And she has inspired everyone around her by being a shining star during the most difficult of times.
We look forward to the legacy this annual award will have in the way it inspires others to pick up the torch by becoming a difference maker in their own community.✨
Love you Crystal
Well deserved!! She is amazing! I appreciate all she did to keep me connected during the shutdown with my husband. The random pictures she sent meant the world to me. Crystal Kersey I'm hope your husband continues to improve. Hugs to you!
Crystal Kersey is the best!! Your residents are so lucky to have her but their families are really the lucky ones because they have the most caring person taking care of their loved ones. 🥰
Congratulations Crystal!!!!
Crystal Kersey is the bomb! We loved seeing her during our parent's time at Pearls of Life. Our son Joe also enjoyed working with her while employed there for summers. Well deserved honor!
She’s definitely an amazing strong woman! Thank you crystal for everything you do!
Who cares. You have COVID in your Pearls of Life facility. Stop posting crap like this and get your staff vaccinated.
Why are you blocking posts that tell the truth about COVID in your facility?

Took a Mystery Trip to Wayside Park for a walk over the river on the swinging bridge and scenic ride through Altavista, the quintessential small town USA. We love getting our seniors out and about, especially when the weather is so nice!☀️
