Employer: Associated Home Care

Location: North Andover, Massachusetts

Inspiration for this Nomination:

Cenzina has been a great addition to our staff since October 2011 when we hired her. Cenzina lives more than 15 miles from our Burlington office and commutes to the area every day to work with us and be part of our team. She started with longer shifts but opted to switch to shorter shift in an effort to gain experience with more of a variety of care levels, which has also been extremely helpful for our scheduling staff. She will often drive some 16 miles for a one-hour shift. This particular case is very difficult and requires a second person to do the transfer. Cenzina takes this on regularly and handles the situation with ease.

Caregiver's Best Skills and Attributes:

Cenzina's determination and motivation is inspiring. In addition to working, she also helps take care of her grandchildren and makes sure she is there when they need her. She continues to improve her skills and knowledge in order to provide the highest quality care to her clients. In addition to taking on shorter shifts in order to have more experience with a variety of care levels, she is currently attending school and taking ESL (English as a second language) classes as her native language is Spanish. Being bilingual, these classes will continue to improve her communication between both English and Spanish-speaking clients.

Feedback About This Caregiver:

Cenzina's clients depend on her and trust in her. She goes above and beyond to travel longer distances to make sure the client is receiving the care that they need so they can remain safe and independent in their home. She is consistent and reliable and gets the job done.

More About This Caregiver:

Cenzina has definitely taught us that no matter how old you are, you are never to old to stop learning new things, especially when they will help you take better care of people in general, whether they are your grandchildren or your clients. She is always striving to do better and this shows in her work.

It is with great pride that we nominate Cenzina as a Caring Champion.
