The Faces of RiverMead: Ricè Werfel-Cuff

At RiverMead, the culture of “making a difference” is not just a value; it is a fundamental attitude that is embraced by every team member. Risè Werfel-Cuff, RiverMead’s Facilities Coordinator, is a prime example of this. Although she is still in the early stage—having only been in her role for 90 days—Risè has already made a great impression and is enjoying every aspect of her work.

Though Risè is often found behind her desk, her passion for her role extends beyond office walls. She is an individual who thrives in outdoor environments, drawing immense satisfaction from the beautiful grounds of RiverMead. Currently, Risè is focused on an essential project: revising and enhancing RiverMead’s emergency management plan. While this task may be complex and require meticulous attention to detail, Risè remains deeply motivated by the knowledge that the work she is doing plays a critical role in safeguarding the well-being of everyone within the RiverMead community.

Safety is something that Risè holds close to her heart, and this dedication stems from her desire to create a secure and nurturing environment for all residents, staff, and visitors. But what truly sparked Risè’s love for RiverMead was her connection to the outdoors. She initially joined the Facilities team as a groundskeeper and it was the natural beauty of the RiverMead campus that captivated her. This profound appreciation for the surroundings fueled her passion for the organization and has guided her professional journey to her current role.

What sets RiverMead apart for Risè is the sense of fulfillment she finds in maintaining and enhancing the campus’ aesthetic charm. She fondly recalls her time spent working outdoors—whether gardening, tending to the landscape, or performing various tasks that contribute to the serene environment of RiverMead. It was through these efforts that she first realized the impact she could have, and hearing the positive feedback from residents and colleagues alike reinforced her commitment to making a meaningful difference in the community.

In her relatively short time at RiverMead, Risè has also experienced firsthand how a collaborative environment can propel individual growth. She is grateful for the opportunities to work alongside a dedicated and compassionate team that shares her passion for improving the lives of others. The culture of teamwork and mutual support at RiverMead encourages each individual to bring their best selves to work, fostering a sense of purpose and fulfillment that extends beyond the walls of any one role.

Risè is aware that her career path has granted her numerous opportunities to grow, evolve, and learn. Each day at RiverMead brings new challenges, yet with these challenges come the opportunity to make a lasting, positive impact on the lives of those who call RiverMead home. For Risè, there is no greater reward than knowing that her efforts are directly contributing to a safe, vibrant, and well-maintained environment for residents, staff, and visitors.

Her role as Facilities Coordinator is more than just a job to Risè; it is a calling. She approaches each day with the mindset that her contributions are vital to the community’s success, and the satisfaction of knowing her work matters drives her commitment to excellence. For Risè, RiverMead isn’t just a place of employment—it is a place where she is making a difference, and that is something she finds incredibly inspiring.

In every project, in every task, Risè brings a passion for excellence and a commitment to making RiverMead the exceptional place it is. It’s clear that her work not only impacts the physical space but also contributes to the overall well-being and happiness of the entire RiverMead community.
