Congratulations to our Employee of the Month, Dora Barajas!
After caring for my mom with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), I became familiar with the disorder in all physical aspects, such as mobility issues ranging from ambulatory to bedbound. The experience also showed me the emotional distress from this disorder. I also realized that caring for her around the clock was a job that someone would not be able to do without suffering burden and stress. When she passed a year ago, I felt the need to make a difference in people’s lives. I wanted to ensure those who need care have the opportunity of being in an environment where their needs are covered.

Congratulations to our Employee of the Month, Craig Goldberg
Craig started working as a caregiver in 2018, soon after his Grandmother passed away. It was her wish to continue to live in her own home, so Craig and his family took care of her as best as they could. It was frustrating for Craig at the time because he didn't have the skill set to take care of her the way that he would have liked to. Fortunately, they were able to hire a great caregiver, Alfredo. He inspired Craig, and gave Craig valuable experience. Craig was also looking for a job at the time so Alfredo referred him to the agency he was working for. Craig has been a caregiver ever since!
