Caregiver of the Month: Kathy

Home Care Services, Garden City, NY

We are so excited to announce Kathy W is our caregiver of the month.  Kathy was selected to be the Caregiver of the Month for March 2022 at Family First Home Companions in Islandia, NY.  Kathy’s dedication to her clients, perfect attendance record, willingness to help by substituting on open shifts, and excellent care services earned her this award and recognition.

Kathy has been a caregiver with Family First Home Companions since the Winter of 2021 and came to Family First with several years of experience caring for both of her parents.   She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience including helping older adults living with dementia, fall prevention, help with doctor appointments, and most notably her ability to bond and develop long lasting relationships with her clients.  Kathy has received many compliments from the clients she helps and goes above and beyond the call of duty to ensure they are well cared for.

Kathy has been an excellent member of the team at Family First.   She has made herself available on several occasions to help fill-in when other caregivers were out and is very flexible with her schedule.  She is someone who can be relied upon and is very versatile in her skills.

We are so proud to have Kathy on our team at Family First and look forward to a successful future with her.  Thank you, Kathy, for all you do!
