Inspiration for this Nomination:

My team and I are inspired by Mary every day. We decided as a group to nominate her for this honor. Supervisors, coordinators, nurses, clients and families rave about Mary. She is professional, positive and an overall delight to work with. We feel honored to have her own our team and she very much contributes to our efforts to provide quality care every day to every client.

Caregiver's Best Skills and Attributes:

Mary is flexible and will take cases in her area and out of her area. She will service clients from companion to home health aide. She will often adjust her preferred schedule to accommodate the agency and the clients. She has worked in inclement weather and in difficult client situations. She provides service on promptly and is always willing to provide last minute service. She is the name that comes to everyone's mind first in scheduling.

Feedback About This Caregiver:

The clients and case managers request her services personally. Her skills, attitude and general personality are often mentioned. On one particular week she was working 80 to include overtime as there were not clients willing to take another suitable aide. The nurses often request her as they assess cases. She is that aide that you would love to clone if you could.

More About This Caregiver:

I have been in the business 25 years and Mary reminds me that she and other wonderful aides don't do this job to get rich. They do it as a calling and to give back to others. I have learned that there are very special people like Mary you have a passion for their job and the people they interact with each day.

Mary would be a well-deserved recipient of this honor and it would be a great example for all of the aides at our agency. It is not often enough we get the opportunity to give proper accolades to our wonderful staff!!
