August CAREGiver of the month




Congratulations to Donna, our CAREGiver of the month! Donna is one of our longest working caregivers. She has been with us since February 2008. Donna is a feisty, energetic woman who makes long lasting relationships with her clients.

 “I became a caregiver because I had time on my hands and saw the ad in the paper and thought I would give it a shot. Never looked back since that day. It has been rewarding in more ways than I can count.

My very first client was Edna (bless her soul) and we became very good friends. One night I had her for dinner here at my house with my family and she stood up on her own accord and toasted us for taking her to our home and loving her like we did. Not a dry eye after that toast. Thanks Brian for paring me up with this gem of a lady.

My advice is enjoy what you do and enjoy your clients as they really have a lot to offer with their wisdom and wit. 

On my days off I do respite work for a young family who have a very disabled girl and also another girl; love them to bits. I also volunteer for the Never Alone Foundation which is a non-profit organization that helps families deal with cancer. Love my time there. 

I also golf and bowl and drive my husband crazy. Life is good 
Once again thank you Brian for taking me on and giving me a purpose. You have a great organization which is much needed.     

Thanks so much,
Donna” 

Thank YOU, Donna. We very much value your contribution to our organization and clients.
