Charaya Tyson-Littlejohn, a CNA Nurse Aide 1 at Lutheran Services Carolinas’ (LSC’s) Trinity Place senior care community in Albemarle, received the organization’s Loyal Service Award for 2024.
This peer-nominated award recognizes teammates who fulfill LSC’s mission by serving clients and residents in an extraordinary way. Only seven out of 2,500-plus teammates from across the Carolinas are honored each year.
Tyson-Littlejohn has been with LSC since 2001 and was nominated by Terry Taylor, LPN.
“Charaya exemplifies the attitude and care that all CNAs should strive for when working directly with patients,” said Taylor. “She enjoys the residents that she serves as well as the teammates she serves with. She is always willing to pick up shifts, stay late, or do anything else that is needed. Every facility could benefit from a teammate like Charaya.”
Tyson-Littlejohn’s award was presented at a luncheon earlier this summer at Trinity Oaks senior living community in Salisbury.
“Our Loyal Service Award winners are the heart and soul of LSC,” said LSC President and CEO Ted W. Goins Jr. “They embody our organizational vision, laid out in John 10:10: ‘I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.’ ”
