BC Care Providers Association (BCCPA) is pleased to announce Taryn Noizaden, Director of Care at Valleyhaven Retirement Community, as honourable mention for the 2024 BC Care Provider of the Year Award in Long-Term Care.
Taryn joined Valleyhaven in 2012 as an LPN and quickly stood out for her nursing excellence and natural leadership. On the Behavioural Support Transition Neighbourhood (BSTN), she built trust with residents with advanced dementia, using compassion and de-escalation skills to support their well-being. Her advocacy for polypharmacy reduction and commitment to ongoing education underscore her dedication to quality care. Taryn also serves as a mentor, guiding and inspiring her peers.
“[Taryn] exhibits very high professional standards and expects the same from others, all of this leads to Valleyhaven continuing to be a great [home] to work in,” says a medical director at Valleyhaven.
Her leadership shined brightest in 2021 when both the Administrator and Director of Care were suddenly absent. Taryn stepped into a senior leadership role, overseeing staffing, clinical operations, and cross-departmental communication. Her calm decisiveness kept the home running smoothly, earning respect from colleagues and senior management. This pivotal role led to her promotion to Director of Care, where she continues to lead with integrity and excellence.
