We are celebrating a momentous event: for the first time in our company’s history, the title of "Caregiver of the Month" has been awarded to the same individual twice in one year. This groundbreaking recognition goes to Jerral, and the fact that he's now won twice speaks volumes to how extraordinary this individual actually is.

Our winner: Jerral !

Jerral’s commitment to his clients shines brightly in everything he does, earning him the admiration of the families he supports. A recent glowing review from the wife of one of his clients perfectly captures Jerral’s unique qualities:

"I'm writing this review today in regard to (Jerral). We call him Jay. Since he took this case on June 10th of this year, he's been nothing but professional and respectful. Especially, the way that he cares for my husband shows his passion he has for caring for seniors. He's been nothing but what me and my husband had prayed for and as long as my husband needs the care for however long it will be, I know Jay will be the right person to care for my husband leaving me with no worries at all. So I just want to say that me and my husband appreciate Jay a lot. We love him and he loves us and I just want it to be known the amazing job he's been doing."

As we usher in the holiday season, we are immensely proud to honor Jerral as our first-ever two-time "Caregiver of the Month" winner. Congratulations, Jerral, on this historic achievement! Your dedication and caring spirit continue to inspire us all at Senior Helpers. Thank you for making a difference every day!

Every once in a while, someone steps up and reminds us of the extraordinary things people can do when they truly care. Today, we want to spotlight Keena, who we are proud to announce is our Caregiver of the Month. She is one of those rare individuals who truly goes above and beyond. As the saying goes, "Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving." Keena has shown us she’s always moving in the direction of care, and compassion, and her recent actions in particular exemplify that:

Recently, our company wanted to do something particularly special for the residents at the Sunrise of Wilton community as it relates to those living with Parkinson’s Disease. We dreamed of arranging a visit from Dr. Meytin, a highly respected specialist whose expertise and dedication to his patients are widely recognized.  Coordinating such an event felt like a long shot.

Keena didn’t have to do anything beyond her already stellar work, but she chose to go above and beyond for the Company, and for those residents. As Dr. Meytin’s Medical Assistant (and our own employee), she used her connection to facilitate this incredible opportunity for the residents. Thanks to Keena, they experienced something truly extraordinary—a moment of learning, connection, and care that may not have been possible otherwise.

This is the kind of person Keena is—someone who doesn’t just do her job but goes out of her way to make a real difference. She didn’t do it for recognition or applause; she did it because she cares. We are so fortunate to have someone of her caliber in the senior care industry, and we couldn’t be prouder to name her our Caregiver of the Month.

When our caregiver Dallas first approached us years ago, he shared that his grandmother had many medical problems.  Dallas told us that caring for her was his inspiration to be an Aid.  Dallas embraced caring as a career.  Day in and day out, Dallas brings that same unwavering patience, respect, and compassion to each of his clients—the same love he poured into helping his grandmother.

To be frank, Dallas is one of our most beloved caregivers, hands down. The warmth and kindness he brings to his work are felt by everyone around him. It's really difficult to articulate just how genuine and grounding his presence is. He’s a true gentleman, through and through—a young man with a deep sense of respect for those he serves.

One story, in particular, shines a light on the profound impact Dallas has. Recently, we received an unexpected note from the head nurse at one of our most important assisted living facilities, a place where Dallas works for us. It must be noted that Head nurses in these types of facilities are the very definition of busy; they’re constantly juggling the demands of fellow staff, the needs of families, and the pressures of administration. Yet, amidst the hustle and all her responsibilities, this nurse took a moment to write to us, sharing: “Dallas is great! Very compassionate and attentive.”

In those simple words, she captured what so many of us feel—Dallas’s compassion and attentiveness make him a rare and treasured presence. He’s the kind of caregiver who doesn’t just provide care but creates a sense of safety and dignity in every interaction. His presence is a gift, and we are immensely grateful for it.

Dallas, we are incredibly proud to honor you as our Caregiver of the Month. Thank you for embodying the spirit of Senior Helpers with such grace, dedication, and heart. We’re beyond fortunate to have you as part of our family.

We are thrilled to recognize Yvette Medina as our Caregiver of the Month! With over 15 years of experience in caregiving, Yvette has dedicated her career to serving others with compassion, professionalism, and a true sense of duty. Her current client, a retired serviceman over 100 years old, has been fortunate to have Yvette by his side, ensuring that he receives the highest quality of care.

The family of this remarkable veteran recently left a glowing review, highlighting Yvette’s impact on their loved one’s life. They described her as “caring, experienced, and genuinely supportive,” and expressed their gratitude for her consistent dedication. Yvette’s ability to build strong, trusting relationships while addressing her client’s specific needs with skill and empathy has made all the difference in their lives.

We are incredibly proud of Yvette and her exemplary service to this veteran and his family. She embodies the core values of our company, demonstrating excellence in every aspect of her role. For her outstanding work and years of dedication, we are honored to name Yvette Medina our Caregiver of the Month. Thank you, Yvette, for your unwavering commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those you serve!

We are thrilled to announce that Anna Williams has been named our Caregiver of the Month! Anna has dedicated most of her adult life to being a caregiver, and her extensive experience and sharpened skillset shine through in the compassionate care she provides.

Anna is not only an exceptional caregiver but also a fantastic mother to her four grown children. Her nurturing nature and deep love for her family extend seamlessly into her professional life. Anna has shared with us her passion for conversing with seniors and her heartfelt goal of making them smile. This sentiment beautifully encapsulates her approach to caregiving.

Recently, Anna received glowing feedback from the family of one of her clients, who has dementia. They left a heartfelt review on Google, expressing their gratitude:

"Our family would like to recognize Anna from Senior Helpers and thank her for caring for our father who has dementia. We take comfort knowing our Dad has Anna caring for him. Anna's kindness, patience, compassion, and respect towards Dad warm our hearts and his. Dad doesn't always remember what Anna might say, but he knows how he feels...he always has a smile when she is with him. We much appreciate all you do, Anna!"

Anna's dedication, kindness, and unwavering commitment to her clients truly set her apart. We are incredibly proud to have her on our team and grateful for the difference she makes in the lives of the seniors she cares for.

At Senior Helpers, we believe in recognizing the exceptional individuals who make a profound difference in the lives of those they care for. This month, we are delighted to honor Sam as our Caregiver of the Month. Sam has been a dedicated Home Companion for almost a decade, bringing warmth, patience, and a genuine sense of family to every senior she cares for.

When we first met Sam, she shared a beautiful perspective that has shaped her approach to caregiving: she sees elderly people as though each of them were her own grandparents. This heartfelt sentiment is evident in every interaction she has with her clients. Sam treats them with the same love, respect, and attention she would give to her own family members. Her warm smile and patient demeanor create an atmosphere of comfort and trust, making her a cherished presence in the lives of the seniors she serves.

One of Sam's recent clients expressed their gratitude in a heartfelt testimonial:

"My dad has dementia and they have found the perfect caregiver for him. Sam is professional and compassionate. I do not have to worry as I know he is in good hands. Sam makes sure he takes his medication, cooks wonderful meals for him, cleans, and takes him wherever he has to go. This is a huge relief as I work 10 hours a day. Thank you Senior Helpers and Sam for providing such amazing care for my dad."

This touching endorsement highlights the exceptional care Sam provides. From ensuring her client's medication is taken on time to preparing delicious meals, maintaining a clean environment, and offering companionship and transportation, Sam goes above and beyond to meet her clients' needs. Her dedication allows family members to have peace of mind, knowing their loved ones are in capable and compassionate hands.

Sam's commitment to her clients and her ability to make them feel like family is truly inspiring. Her professionalism and compassion set a high standard for caregiving, and we are incredibly proud to have her as part of our team at Senior Helpers.

This month, we are thrilled to shine the spotlight on Herminia, fondly known as "Hermi" among us. With an unwavering dedication to caregiving that spans nearly her entire adult life, Hermi embodies the epitome of compassion, skill, and warmth. Despite having reached retirement age she continues to serve as a caregiver, fueled purely by her love for what she does.

Hermi's commitment to providing exceptional care is unparalleled, leaving a lasting impact on all those she touches. Her recent client and her family have been deeply touched by Hermi's presence and care. In fact, the family left a beautiful, heartfelt review on Google that really captures the essence of Hermi's impact:
"(Since) Hermie came to care for our 99-year-old Mom, she has been thrilled to resume her lifetime love of walking once. They are out every day, weather permitting. Hermie welcomes Mom's friends and their pets who also enjoy her warmth and sense of humor. Hermie always goes the extra mile; while Mom was napping, she surprised us all by fixing a kitchen shelf (with her own tools!). She's a watchful sous chef when Mom feels like cooking. Hermie has helped Mom get back into the world and live her best life as she nears 100. We are so grateful to have her."

From driving to impeccable attendance, and from her culinary expertise to her integrity in every action, Hermi embodies the essence of a true caregiver. Her willingness to go above and beyond, whether it's fixing a shelf or being a supportive presence, reflects her dedication to enhancing the lives of those under her care.

It is with immense pride and gratitude that we bestow upon Herminia the honor of Caregiver of the Month. Her contributions are not just acknowledged but celebrated, serving as a beacon of inspiration for us all.

When Stacey first joined our company, her wealth of experience in home care was evident, having already made a significant impact in similar roles. However, what truly sets Stacey apart is not just her professional prowess but the genuine connections she forms with those under her care.

Stacey's current client and their family have experienced firsthand the profound influence she brings to her work.

From the onset, Jay's commitment to his role was evident in his heartfelt application statement: "I enjoy helping seniors because I feel that’s my way of giving back, especially to those who are in need of our services.

Our Company, Senior Helpers, values compassion and dedication above all else, and Suzan Malcolm exemplifies these characteristics wonderfully. As the recipient of this month's Caregiver of the Month Award, Suzan's journey of unwavering commitment is nothing short of inspiring. Her story is a testament to the incredible impact a single individual can have on the lives of others, and her presence on our team has been a true blessing.

Suzan's educational background, with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Central Connecticut State University, laid a solid foundation for her career in caregiving. However, it is her heart of gold and her innate ability to connect with people that have set her apart in this field.

During her tenure there, she honed her skills in caring for individuals with diverse needs and backgrounds, developing the empathy and understanding that have become her hallmark.

In 2020, Suzan embarked on a new chapter of her caregiving journey by joining our team, and the impact she has made since then is nothing short of remarkable.

Her interactions with our veteran clients have often gone beyond the realm of caregiving, as she forms deep and meaningful connections with each of them.

One particular testament to Suzan's extraordinary caregiving came in the form of a heartfelt video message from one of her clients. The gratitude and admiration expressed in this video serve as a powerful reminder of the immense positive impact she has had on the lives of those she serves.
