Celebrating Engagement, Heart, and Humanity in Senior Living

True impact in senior living is not measured by titles alone. It is measured by connection, consistency, and the way residents feel every single day. That is exactly why Janet Martinez-Stevens has been named to the Frontline Honors Class of 2025.

This national recognition, presented by Senior Housing News and WTWH Healthcare, honors leaders in Memory Care, Senior Housing, and Senior Living who bring excellence, creativity, and compassion to the frontline of care.

Engagement That Goes Beyond Activities

As Engagement Director at The Villas at San Bernardino, Janet does far more than plan activities. She creates moments of purpose, joy, and belonging. Her work reminds us that engagement is not entertainment. It is emotional connection, dignity, and quality of life.

Janet’s philosophy is simple and powerful. “The love, care, and attention we give to our seniors is a measure of our humanity.” That belief is reflected in everything she does, from thoughtfully designed programs to the way she connects with residents one-on-one.
