Fanny
All Rights Reserved

Employer: Partners in Healthcare

Location: Altamonte Springs, Florida

Inspiration for this Nomination:

This caregiver is a Certified Nursing Assistant and Home Health Aide who is an asset to our nursing agency. We have had the pleasure of having her in our employ for more than a year. When she is assigned to care for our clients in their homes, she is caring and conscientious. She is always where she needs to be, on time, in uniform, cheerful and ready to work. Many times she has responded to our needs to "fill a hole" in our schedule. She treats our clients as she would like to see treatment of her own family member. Her compassion is evident as she provides consistently excellent care to our clients.

Caregiver's Best Skills and Attributes:

When she is working with our clients, Fanny is always both patient and persistent. Many times this makes all the difference between having a client's co-operation or not. She is very good at knowing when a gentle push will gain the client's co-operation and when to "let it be".

Feedback About This Caregiver:

Clients want Fanny back and generally don't want a substitute when she is not available. They appreciate her caring attitude and her ability to often use humor to handle some situations.

More About This Caregiver:

Fanny has been an excellent team player. She is always ready to help out when she is able to do so. Many times she has worked an unexpected shift with very short notice. As our client needs are constantly changing, a caregiver who will step in where needed is a valuable asset to our company. She communicates well with the management team, as well as clients, clients' family members, and other caregivers.

One of the ways Fanny interacts with other staff and with our clients is with her good sense of humor. This is often contagious. In a business that caters to the health care of primarily elderly people, this often goes a long way. We would love to see Fanny honored by your organization and look forward to seeing that happen.
