Aisha Gaddour - Angel of the Month, May 2018

Aisha GaddourIt is with great pleasure that we award Aisha Gaddour Angel of the Month for May 2018. Aisha interviewed with us in July 2016 and we put her to work right away. We know talent when we see it! The last comment in the interview notes of our Case Manager, Joanna, was “AOM is waiting for her!”.

Aisha was born and raised in Massachusetts to parents of Sudanese and Egyptian descent. She and her mother lived in Sudan for one year when she was in the 6th grade while her father stayed behind. Aisha and her 5-year-old son are currently residing with her parents to help care for her father. She completed one year of nursing school and after taking some time off, is looking forward to getting back to the books again soon! Aisha enjoys quality time with her son on the weekends. She is soft-spoken but friendly and warm. Aisha has always had the propensity to care for others. She was a children’s counselor while in high school. Her friends suggested she take a course to become a PCA (Patient Care Assistant). Finding she excelled in the field, she went on to become an HHA.

Aisha handles challenging situations when working with Clients with advanced Alzheimer’s. The family was aware of the difficulties their loved-one presented in refusing the Caregiver access to the apartment and allowed her to find creative ways to aid their family member, allowing her to complete her tasks. Most days the Client would ask Aisha to leave, and she would; She’d go back in a half-hour or so, as her Client would forget the incident and she could continue her work. 

One of Aisha’s current Clients has cancer and has been through multiple treatments: chemo, radiation, and surgery. When the schedule changes they repeatedly say they don’t want anyone else but her.

The Client’s husband says, “Aisha has been working with us for just under a year. In her career, she has worked with Clients who have had complicated requirements. As a result, no matter what we need her to do, she works with great skill, and with kindness and compassion. It is a real pleasure to welcome her into our home and our lives each morning, as she brings a cheerful disposition and lots of positive energy. “

Aisha, you are truly an angel. Thank you for your outstanding work-ethic, positive attitude, excellent communication skills and creative problem-solving. We are so glad you are part of the Visiting Angels team!
