Donna Waite, 2009 CAREGiver of the Year
Home Instead Senior Care of Sonoma County announces Donna Waite as the 2009 CAREGiver of the Year.
How can one describe a CAREgiver of such caliber? It is truly beyond words. Donna’s attention to detail, the way she took a homebound client and transformed him into going on daily outings and walks that even tire her out from time to time.
Donna’s client, (a 99-year-old gentleman) even ventured out for some “live entertainment” at a local jazz club one evening and had the time of his life (something he hasn’t done in years!).
Donna is so dependable and reliable you could set your watch to her. Her eyes, ears and heart are open so wide that she catches anything that may be “amiss” at the client’s home or with any of her clients’ overall well being, like mood, attitude, you name it.
We’re pleased to have Donna as an employee of the Sonoma County Home Instead Senior Care office since August of 2008 as she has proven time and time again that she has empathy, patience and a genuine heart for caring for the elderly. She exemplifies our tagline, To Us, It’s Personal, because to her, it truly is.
Congratulations, Donna! We’re so pleased to have you as part of our Home Instead Sonoma team.
