Being a concierge at Cadence at Kent-Meridian requires a special combination of skills, and Mario Taylor was born for the role.<\/p>\n
“You have to be organized and detail oriented, and you also have to perform,” he says.<\/p>\n
The concierge desk is the central hub of activity at the senior living community. Mario receives all deliveries for residents and staff, plus daily mail. He coordinates appointments for residents, whether they’re receiving a service in their home or heading out to an appointment in Kent. He also loves building relationships with residents when they come up to chat.<\/p>\n
“I’m right at the front so I’m often the first person people see. That means I have to be fun, as well as organized,” he says. “I always have doggie treats, and I’m putting together a portfolio with photos of all our residents’ pets.”<\/p>\n
