CAREGiver of the Month: November


Our CAREGiver of the Month for October 2012 is Minerva!

Minerva goes above and beyond to show that she genuinely cares. She’s very rarely says “no” and is dedicated to her clients.

What has been your favorite moment with a client?
My favorite time with a client is during our daytime trip every Tuesday (to the park, mall, or museum). I him that it’s our date, and he replies with a smile and comes with lots of enthusiasm.

Why did you decide to become a caregiver?
I decided to become a caregiver because I have a passion to care for people especially the seniors/elderly. I’ve always loved to work with seniors/elderly even back home in the Philippines. I think of them and treat them as I would my own parents.

What advice would you give to a new CAREGiver?
My personal advice to a new caregiver is to give a personal touch to your work. Also more importantly have a lot of patience and add some TLC (Tender Loving Care) to every client we handle.

Thank you Minerva for all your hard work!

ALS Conference

 
We were at the 7th Annual Conference on ALS Friday at Victoria Inn. The conference was an opportunity to learn more about ALS, the ALS clinical relationships, collaborations, share ideas and listen to comments from clients living with ALS about their care needs.
