CAREGiver of the Month: December


Our CAREGiver of the Month for December 2012 is Josie!

Here at Home Instead Senior Care we look for CAREGivers that are reliable, professional and compassionate with our clients. We can always count on Josie which is why we choose to recognize her as our last CAREGiver of the Month for 2012. She answered a few questions about being a CAREGiver:

What was one of your favourite moments with a client?

My favorite moments with clients is when I make them smile. My heart is full of joy if I see them happy and satisfied with the services I've rendered.

What advice would you give to a new caregiver?

The important thing that I can give as an advice to all new in this kind of work is to be truthful, patient, dedicated in everything they do and maintain a professional relationship with clients. Treat clients with full respect, dignity, understand their needs and give the best care that they can.

Why did you decide to become a caregiver?

It was my profession as a nurse in my home country and with the experiences I've gained in my work that leads me in this field. I am passionate about making a difference, I love and I enjoy rendering utmost care to the sick and needy and to see that they are recover promptly.

Thank you Josie for all your hard work!


Be a Santa to a Senior


Caitlin and Brian busy doing deliveries for Be a Santa to a Senior last week. In the past week over 700 gifts have been delivered for isolated and/or low-income seniors in the community to have a gift to open on Christmas. We'll also be taking gifts to a couple local hospitals to bring some joy to seniors who have to spend their Christmas in the hospital.

 Thank you to all the generous Winnipeggers who make this program possible!
