Sande - January 2020 CAREGiver of the Month

"Caregiving chose me. Here is my story. After graduating from high school, I had an opportunity to volunteer at a group home with troubled teens for 3 years, after learning more and more about home health/personal care I decided to take another step. I started working with Developmental disorders with adults for 12 years, that was a challenge but rewarding. I worked at a Drug and Alcohol facility, assisting consumers with the addiction, detoxing and helping them accomplishing goals, Between my jobs I had to take care of my father who was in the service (AF) had his leg amputated. MY father suffered with not getting the proper care from the system of the VA. I took my father in and cared for him for 4 years until he passed away. Here I am a caregiver for HISC which I enjoy working for and learning as I go."
