Her projects have included building a rotating puzzle table to make the activity more accessible for residents, restoring a damaged dining room table and creating a memorial scoreboard and bocce court in honor of a resident who enjoyed the game.

Pimentel has also helped improve the community's apartment preparation process for new residents and supports its maintenance and housekeeping teams, according to Carriage House.

"We are proud to celebrate this year's Excellence Award recipients whose compassion, professionalism and commitment brighten the days of the residents they serve," Mass-ALA President and CEO Brian Doherty said. "These individuals represent the very best of assisted living, ensuring that older adults are supported with dignity, independence and respect each day."
