For examples of what “going above and beyond” looks like, please keep reading…
Robyn (our Nurse & Care Manager) is too humble to brag about what she does every day, so I’m going to do it for her and share a few examples (suggesting you read ‘til the end, the last one still gets me).
Challenge 1: A client of ours was a fall-risk and discombobulated. We had to be there 50+ hours per week just to keep her safe.
- The solution: Following Robyn’s recommendations, the doctors reevaluated medications and made the adjustments she suggested!
- Today: The client is back to independence! It was the medications and the doctors agreed with Robyn! Our main caregiver is still there 20 hours per week just for some companionship and fun activities, but the client is SO much better!
Challenge #2: An out-of-town family was extremely concerned about their dad since he was all alone and they couldn’t be with him yet so they hired us.
- The solution: Robyn coached our team of caregivers to keep him safe and provide daily updates to the family including photos, notes & suggestions. Robyn even drove & joined him at doctor’s appointments to ask questions and report back to the family, and provided her own weekly reports & tips for the family.
- Today, the client has graduated off our services, he finally got to move to be closer to his family, and the family is forever grateful.
Challenge #3: A client was battling depression and could no longer maintain her once-beautiful backyard garden.
- The solution: Robyn was off work one morning, and we agreed to meet at the client’s home that afternoon. When I arrived, Robyn was wearing jeans and a t-shirt, and holding a rake and trash bag. She had been there all morning clearing out the garden of weeds, and making the garden look wonderful again. The client was nearly in tears as she sat & watched Robyn begin to restore her garden it to its former beauty.
- Today, the client’s depression has subsided (med adjustments helped!) and her garden hasn’t looked this great in years. I had to emphasize to the client’s family that yard work is not a “normal” task in the home care industry, it’s just that Robyn just can’t help herself sometimes LOL.
To Robyn, and to all of the wonderful healthcare workers & caregivers who go above and beyond even when no one is looking, THANK YOU.
