Stories from the Heart❤️ These are stories of resilience. Of connection. Of love in action. 💙 Join us on this journey as we celebrate the people behind the care and the patients who inspire us every step of the way.
This story comes from our Home Health Aide, Alyvia Sommers. She states, “It’s hard to choose just one memory because every patient is unique, and each visit creates a new connection. One that stands out is my very first patient, a couple adjusting to life in an assisted living facility. I focused on learning their preferences and reassuring them that I was there to help as much or as little as they needed. Trust is so important, especially when assisting with personal tasks like bathing. I let her guide me and even learned how to curl her hair after showers, which became a special part of our visits. We shared stories, laughter, and even had a little fashion show with clothes her daughters bought. When it came time for discharge, the family asked how they could ‘keep me,’ which meant the world to me. It showed that I made them feel valued, comfortable, and cared for, exactly what I strive for with every patient.”
The patient and client relationship ripples all the way to the top.
