Care Pro Janice Has a Heart of Gold
For Home Instead® Care Professional of the Month Janice, touching her clients’ lives impacts her heart and soul, whether Janice is providing physical help such as light housekeeping, meal preparation, medication reminders or personal care or if she is offering emotional support in a companionship role.
Home Instead General Manager Gail M. Wilk announced Janice had been selected as the Care Pro of the Month for October 2023 for the award-winning franchise in Waterford, Michigan. Gail said: “Janice is a seasoned Care Pro who has been with us for many years. With her heart of gold, Janice is well-loved by her clients.”
Among the considerations for achieving Care Pro of the Month status, an employee has shown she has gone above and beyond the call of duty. Empathy and compassion factor into winning the award, as well as skill and wisdom for dealing with challenging situations.
Janice embodies Home Instead’s guiding principles of “Build Trust, Take the Lead and Share Your Heart.” She is exceptional at her work with any client at owner Glenna Yaroch’s award-winning franchise that serves North Oakland County.
In addition to her other Care Pro skills, Janice provides safety assurance, transportation and errands. Janice offers personal assistance with eating, grooming, dressing, bathing, incontinence care, cognitive impairment, hospice support and mobility. By expertly doing so, Janice not only assists her clients, but helps their families eliminate worry, reduce stress and re-establish personal freedom.
