July 2024 Caregiver of the Month
Katherine worked for Comfort Keepers several years ago then returned to work with us again in 2021. We are so happy she did and extremely proud to have her as our July 2024 Caregiver of the Month! Katherine is exceptionally dependable, friendly, and greatly appreciated by her client and the Comfort Keepers’ office staff.
It is obvious that Katherine has a gift for caregiving. In her earlier years, she wanted to become a registered nurse just like her mother. She enjoyed volunteering at the same place her mother worked; this is where she discovered she enjoyed caring for others and began to learn a great deal about the aging population.
Katherine knows the importance of communicating well with her clients. Getting down to eye level to show respect and not assuming they are hard of hearing but speaking slowly and distinctly are techniques she uses so successfully. Allowing her clients to do what they can around the house and helping only when needed to keep them active has also worked well for her. Treating others the way she would like to be treated is always a goal she keeps in mind. Respect and dignity are important.
Katherine appreciates working with the supportive staff at Comfort Keepers. She never knew that working for a company could bring so much enjoyment and pleasure. Congratulations, Katherine! We are so happy to have you as part of our team.
