Here at Melody Living Lake in the Hills, we cherish the unique stories and vibrant personalities of our residents. This month, we are thrilled to feature Marnee Ardito as our resident spotlight. Join us as we delve into Marnee's remarkable journey and learn more about her life. Marnee Ardito was born and raised in Franklin Park, Illinois. As a mother of three sons and two daughters-in-law, Marnee's life has been filled with love and family. Marnee’s husband served in the Army and spent most of his contract in Arizona. After her youngest son started school, Marnee pursued a career in healthcare, working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) at Lutheran General Hospital. Though Marnee wished to get her RN license, she chose to put it off to support her family. However, her passion for healthcare led her to further her education later in life, becoming a unit secretary and eventually becoming an LPN at the age of 40.

Sometimes, a helping hand is necessary for leading life at your own rhythm, and Melody Bridge is designed precisely for this purpose. This innovative program is intended to meet the needs of a resident population with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) who may not yet require the level of care provided in a dedicated memory care unit. The Melody Bridge neighborhood was born out of the recognition of a need to serve residents who could benefit from a more structured environment. Residents in this neighborhood will require some level of care support services and assistance to navigate their day.
