Congratulations to Josarie! Senior Homecare By Angels is proud to announce that Josarie Danieles is our Caregiver of the Month, July’s recipient award. Josarie is such a dedicated and loyal caregiver. She brought up her concerns about the well-being of our client. She stepped up to the plate when she found out that we didn’t have anyone who could cover the schedule of the other live-in caregiver. So, Josarie decided to cancel her plans that weekend, and decided to work due to the fact that she was worried about the client.

Josarie is a great advocator for our clients, even in the past when she was looking after a previous client that she was working on a case, she would provide updates, suggested different approaches on how to manage the client in a therapeutic way. Her outcome goals and interventions were to ensure the client was safe, needs and preferences were met, and respected. She is patient, compassionate, and passionate about what she does by helping others through caregiving.

Josarie has been working with Senior Homecare By Angels since January 2015 and currently working full time shifts for our client in a homecare setting.

CAREGIVER OF THE MONTH- JUNE 2018

Congratulations to Judith! Senior Homecare By Angels is proud to announce that Judith Dongpol is our Caregiver of the Month, June’s recipient award. Her compassion, schedule flexibility, and stepping up to the plate are some of the qualities that we have recognized and valued greatly. There was a time when our office needed to cover another caregiver’s schedule in a very short notice to work within few hours, and Judith had agreed to cover the shift. Also, there was another time when the caregiver had to start later, and Judith had agreed to extend her night shift to cover until the day shift caregiver came back. Judith took actions just to ensure there were some coverage for the client, since it was a sensitive issue in terms of time constraint and client’s preference of continuity of care. She took responsibilities and did not hesitate by taking charge of the situations.

Judith is patient, caring, and understanding to the needs of the clients. She respects the clients and understands what she or he is going through. It is a rewarding experience for her to care for them knowing that our clients feel comfortable, joy, and content. She even loves singing together with them, and this is her creative way to get their attention when the clients are feeling agitated or confused. Judith is a such a treasure!

Judith has been working with Senior Homecare By Angels since October 2016 and currently working full time shifts for our client in a facility setting. She is a Personal Support Worker certified and had worked as a nanny and caregiver for 17 years in Hongkong before coming to Canada. She had worked with cases of Dementia and Alzheimer’s. Judith enjoys spending great time with her church members and friends. She likes to cook and clean during her free time.

We are grateful and appreciate you Judith! We hope that you continue your success with us!

She is competent, compassionate, and committed to provide consistency and continuity of care. Caring for seniors is her ultimate passion as it drives her innermost desire to help the elderly. She advocates for her clients to achieve the goals, promotes health and wellness, and empathizes their needs. She believes that it is important for her to care and treat our clients as a whole person- mind, body, and soul. It is a holistic approach, and she did a great job on delivering this concept.

When it comes to flexibility, Rosario does not mind taking more shifts and covering another schedule if we asked her to pick up some shifts.

She is diligent, follows instructions, and communicates back in our office for client’s updates and schedule changes.

CAREGIVER OF THE MONTH- NOVEMBER 2017

Senior Homecare By Angels is proud to announce Letty Silva as our recipient, Caregiver of the Month. Letty was known for her client’s advocacy, flexibility, and hard work. Once she accepted to take up a case, she studied the care plan, followed it, and delivered the best care that she could provide to ensure our client’s needs were met and fulfilled. If there was anything that needed to be added on the care plan, she would make suggestions; and if noticed there were some conflicts to the best interests of the client, she would report in our office.

We can always count on Letty when it comes to any open shifts. When we needed someone to relieve a shift, she was cooperative and gladly accepted any changes even if it would affect her schedule. She worked really hard and tried her best to complete the tasks for the client. What she enjoyed the most on her job was that knowing that she had given her best to care for our clients, really satisfied her especially when our clients’ health improved and the quality of life changed for better. She was working with another client who had some mobility issues and couldn’t walk from her bed to the washroom when Letty first started on the case. After three months and with Letty’s support, the client was able to walk from her house to her neighbour’s house for 10 minutes walk with a help of a walker. That was amazing!

Letty has been with Senior Homecare By Angels since August 2016 and currently working full time shifts for our client in a homecare setting. She is a Personal Support Worker certified and had experienced with cases of Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s. Letty enjoys spending time with her clients doing some exercises, playing games and puzzles.

Congratulations Letty and thank you for all amazing things that you did! Great job!
