Movers & Shakers

Tina Borden Tina Borden, health services director for Aegis Living of Dana Point is being honored as the January recipient of Fairhaven’s Oliver Halsell Care Award. Fairhaven, an Orange County mortuary and memorial park with locations in Santa Ana and Mission Viejo, created the recognition program in 2012 to pay tribute to individuals who have demonstrated exceptional care in their profession, community and the world at large. As health services director, Borden works tirelessly to attend to the residents of Aegis’ 64 apartments, providing health services, performing physical assessments, meeting with families and overseeing the administration of medication. Amid this extensive list of responsibilities, Borden says her most important role is as an advocate. This is a responsibility she demonstrates routinely when residents are sent to the emergency room. Borden takes great care to ensure that the resident is clearly understood and works directly with the doctors to ensure that the proper course of treatment is provided. She will also make follow-up visits and bring small gifts to heighten their spirits. Borden’s passion for care is also on display at home, where she cares for her husband who suffers from multiple sclerosis. “There is no joy greater than to take care of someone you love,” Borden says. Thanks to her relentless passion for service, this is a joy that she has brought to countless others throughout South Orange County. Borden will be honored at Fairhaven’s Oliver Halsell Care Awards banquet in the fall at Fairhaven’s Mission Viejo location. The banquet honors a year’s worth of achievements among the local community. Additionally, Fairhaven will make a donation to the Multiple Sclerosis Society on behalf of Borden.
