Reene Murrell: "Entertaining with Flavor"

About Brookdale Senior Living

With amenities such as transportation services, salons and private dining rooms and activities such as gardening, fitness classes and trivia nights Brookdale caters to a wide range of interests and needs.

When it’s your job to make sure a dining room full of hungry people are happy, there’s a little freedom to get creative, or at least Reene Murrell thinks so. He’s a dining services manager at Brookdale who sees himself as an entertainer of sorts.

“I do whatever I can,” he says. “If it’s just a smile or a hug, even if it’s just to do a little promenade in front of their table, if I can get them laughing or joking, it’s a good day.”

So where does his infectious, bubbly personality come from? A lesson his mom taught him when he was younger: the power of a smile.

“Smile even if you’re having a bad day because you never know whose day it helps,” he shares.
