KUDOS From Kelly

By Kelly McNamara

Victoria Acheampong: Usually, describing why we believe a caregiver deserves a Kudos, we in the office brainstorm all the qualities that make a designated person so special. Occasionally however we are fortunate to receive feedback directly from the family of the client. Having this appreciation expressed in such a heartfelt manner is a genuine treat for us. And of course, the caregiver being honored that particular month as well.

So, here in her own words are one of the clients, Rosalie’s daughter, Tracey (the other being Tara, who I know shared her sister’s opinions on Victoria:

We are blessed to have Victoria taking care of our mom. She is a hard worker, reliable, and always willing to pitch in with a smile. Not only does she care for my mom better than anyone else has, but she makes my mom smile, and laugh, and provides a unique kind of friendship. Since she has come to help, I can see the difference in my mom’s demeanor- she just seems happier and more upbeat! Victoria takes her out for scenic rides and we would not trust just anyone to do that! We always say that we hope Victoria never leaves us. I cannot say enough about what she does for my mom and for our whole family. She has become a part of our family and we are lucky to have her.

We are ALL indeed SO lucky to have her!

Many thanks to Tracey and her sister Tara for being such great daughters. You are wonderful clients!

And Victoria. Thanks for being YOU!!

All caregivers mentioned in this column will receive a bonus and our sincere gratitude! Many many thanks to all of you for once again extending yourselves to ensure that we are of course Always There…!! ■
