Congratulations to our May CAREGiver of the month, Heath! Heath joined our team in April of 2021, and has been outstanding since joining our team. Heaths regular client is a former artist and loves looking at different art, but struggles to do so because of some loss of close up vision. Heath took it upon himself to think of a creative way to show her different artwork by driving her around downtown Toledo showing her the different murals painted on the buildings, which she absolutely loved! Heath continues to go above and beyond for his clients, and shows the Home Instead way by being kind, caring, and compassionate. Thank you for all you do Heath!

Congratulations to our March CAREGiver of the Month, Ashlen T.! Ashlen joined our CAREGiver team in August of 2020.

The Home Instead mission statement is “To enhance the lives of aging adults and their families,” which is exactly what Ashlen has done. We asked Ashlen what her favorite part of Caregiving is and her response was “I love seeing the bond that the clients have with their family members, it shows me what I want to have for my family someday.” Thank you Ashlen for all of your hard work and dedication to your clients and their families, we are honored to have such a caring individual as part of our team!

Vonda joined our team in November of 2020. Throughout the month of February, Vonda has gone above and beyond by picking up extra shifts, being flexible with her times, getting great feedback from her clients, and working with many clients with various needs. When asked what her favorite part of being a Home Instead CAREGiver is, Vonda said "I had my Caregiving is my Superpower shirt on and was faced with a difficult situation while on shift and knew I needed to activate those superpowers in this situation. Between that and remembering my previous training, I was able to successfully handle the situation and get the client what he needed. It felt so good to have that breakthrough during such a difficult situation". Thank you Vonda for all you do for our clients!
