Lanai Neighborhood resident Dolores Villarimo, who prefers to be
called Auntie Dolly, likes to keep busy and active and will often
tell you “I like to work!” She recently approached CNA Rene Komoda and told her she was very bored. Rene asked her what she would
like to do, and she answered “I like to clean.” Rene was just starting to wash
tables and carts, so Auntie Dolly joined in and they accomplished the task
together. When Nursing Supervisor Chris Casio walked by, she recognized
Eden Alternative Principle 6
in action and took a photo. Principle 6 states that “meaningless activity
corrodes the human spirit. The opportunity to do things that we find meaningful
is essential to human health.” Thanks to Rene for recognizing this need and
helping Auntie Dolly add meaning to her day.
