With a Little Help Caregiver Wins 2007 Caregiving Award

From Heather:
“Thank you all so much for the wonderful experience of working with you and all of our clients.  It’s been a great journey.  I’ve learned immense amounts.  I think one of the most impressive parts of WALH is your encouragement (and pay) to go to trainings.  I think that is one of the nicest policies any organization can have to ensure competence of employees.  Thanks again for everything!”

From Lisa:
“My job with WALH has been a more fulfilling experience than I ever expected when I began.  There is no other work that I have ever done that compares to the emotional and at times spiritual connection I feel while working with most all of the clients I have been matched with.  I know in my heart that my calling is to continue to work with the elderly.  I am often as grateful as my clients are for the time I spend with them.”

From Pat:
“I enjoy working for WALH. I feel as though I am treated like I am important.  I have flexible hours, I am listened to about my needs and how I can best serve our clients. I think I am above average good at this work (simply my experience) that I call play. I enjoy being an addition to my clients’ lives and helping them to smile/laugh occasionally. Thanks you for hiring me for this work/play.”

From Emily:
“I have grown so much in my care for R.  She tells me how much she needs me and relies on me, and I tell her it is a wonderful feeling to be needed.  It is very interesting how our relationship has evolved over these past almost two years.”
