Janet G. - Angel of the Month, June 2018
Angel of the Month: Janet G.
We are so honored to award Janet G. the Angel of the Month Award for June 2018. Janet came on board with Visiting Angels in March 2016. She is a kind, warm, thoughtful and caring person who is committed to taking care of elders. She came to the United States from Ghana over 10 years ago. Janet began her career in the customer service industry. When it was suggested she try becoming a caregiver, she learned she truly enjoyed being an HHA and has thrived in the field. Janet enjoys spending time with her family, going to church when she is not working and shopping in her free time.
Janet is experienced working in facilities and in private care and understands that there are advantages to both. However, she is invested in developing the one-on-one relationships with clients that occur with live-in care. Janet has developed a special relationship with one client that she has been steadily working with since August 2016. She has worked with five other clients over the past two years and her focus has always been providing quality home care.
Janet does this work from the heart and does not get discouraged when assisting clients with difficult challenges. She understands how to deal effectively with clients who have dementia or Alzheimer’s by redirecting, being creative with communication or giving them space. With her long-term client, Janet makes sure that she has a schedule of different activities which includes, singing with her, putting puzzles together, making her favorite foods, and keeping conversations and interactions going throughout the day. Janet shows great empathy for her clients and their families. She was raised to value and care for the elders in her community and has gone above and beyond normal expectations in various situations with her clients.
Janet takes her work very seriously and is always professional. She brings a strong skill-set and enthusiasm to her work. We are continuously impressed with her dedication to elder care and her positive attitude. Wherever we have placed Janet, she forms strong bonds with the clients and their families and we have never had any concerns about the wonderful care that she provides.
We cannot say enough great things about Janet and congratulate her whole-heartedly for all her accomplishments. We thank you, Janet, for your hard work and dedication. We hope you will be part of the Visiting Angels team for years to come.
