Uncategorized | Elderlink Home Care - Part 9

As most of you know, we have always chosen one caregiver each month to honor by naming them our ‘Caregiver of the Month’. This award is selected by the office staff (Alyssa, Andrea, Becky, Jennifer, Karen & Robin) and is given to caregivers we feel are great team players, provide exceptional care, are dedicated to their clients, and are willing to help out in times of need! The caregiver of the month is given a $50 Visa gift card and is spotlighted on our blog and Facebook pages. Elderlink works with almost 600 caregivers throughout the Denver Metro area, so being selected is a huge honor to feel very proud of! However, we are so very lucky to work with so many amazing caregivers and we feel that picking just one caregiver each month is simply too difficult! There are so many of you that are deserving and possess the characteristics we are looking to reward! We are pleased to let you know that going forward we will select two recipients for the ‘Caregiver of the Month’ award each month and are increasing the prize amount to $100 per caregiver! We are excited to be able to recognize and reward more of our exceptional caregivers! Keep up the good work! We are proud of all of you. ~Jennifer Moorehead – Director of Operations

Elderlink would like to congratulate our Caregiver of the Month for February, 2021, Mary A.! Mary has been a caregiver with Elderlink for almost 18 years! Mary has had many long term clients and we have always heard wonderful things about her and the care she provides. Mary was thrilled to receive this honor! Mary moved to Colorado from Ghana roughly 21 years ago and has been a caregiver for about the same amount of time. She said she loves her job and truly cares about each and every one of her clients! Mary says that she goes to work each day and makes an effort to treat everyone exactly the way she would want to be treated. Mary says that if she is caring for others, she is happy and it is a part of her nature. When Mary isn’t working, she likes to spend time helping others in her community – including youth in Ghana. She helps pay school fees and arranges for them to get school books. Mary clearly puts her heart into everything she does and we couldn’t be happier to call her an Elderlink caregiver. Congratulations Mary and keep up the good work!
