Meet Kathy, a true example of dedication, compassion, and growth within our Modivcare family. Her caregiving journey began long before she joined us, right after high school when she started working as an aide in nursing homes, supporting those in need with patience and heart.

In 2003, Kathy joined what was then Independence, stepping into the role of Coordinator. In the early days of the company, she often wore many hats, even stepping in as a caregiver herself to ensure clients always received the support they needed.

Her calling to care began early, helping her sister with spina bifida and supporting family members shaped Kathy’s lifelong passion for helping others. “It has been my life to help others,” she says, a truth that still guides her.

From Caregiver to Branch Manager of the Worcester and Attleboro offices, Kathy’s empathy and leadership have fueled her growth. Mentored by Trevor and Elaine, she now lifts others as they once lifted her, leading with compassion and ensuring her team ends each day with peace of mind.

Her advice for growth is simple and powerful:
“Be attentive, ask questions, and build trust. Nothing is out of reach if you’re willing to learn.”

Please join us in celebrating Kathy’s 22 years of service, compassion, and leadership, a true reflection of what it means to grow with care. 💙

🌟 Care Campaign Spotlight: Meet Alisha Fassett 🌟

Alisha has been a dedicated part of our care family since 2011. She began her journey as a caregiver with CGA, inspired by a personal calling after losing her mom at a young age. Her passion for helping others started in high school while working in personal care and it only grew stronger from there.

From her very first weeks as a caregiver, navigating snowstorms and learning with compassion, to later roles as an Expert Direct Care Worker, Receptionist, Care Coordinator, and Quality Auditor, Alisha has grown into her current position as Senior Lead Care Coordinator. Alisha’s journey shows what dedication, resilience, and heart can achieve. Along the way, many of her managers have helped guide her growth.

What Alisha loves most about caregiving hasn’t changed: the companionship, the stories, and the joy of knowing she makes a difference in someone’s life. In her current role, she finds fulfillment in helping people stay in their homes, supporting caregivers, and ensuring families have the peace of mind they deserve.

Her advice for others starting their journey: “Stick it out. Some days will be hard, but hard efforts will get you far. Communication builds trust, and trust builds opportunity.”

If she could speak to her first-day self? “Girl, I never thought you’d make it this far… but if you really want to go somewhere, you can.” 🌟

Please join us in celebrating Alisha’s story and all she’s accomplished in her 14-year journey of care! We are so proud to have you in the Modivcare family.

🌟 Care Campaign Spotlight: Meet Fatima Del Carme Ramirez Mejia 🌟

In 2012, Fatima began her journey with us at the Passaic branch as a caregiver. Pregnant, planning her wedding, and determined to support her family, she made the brave decision to take a caregiving course. Shortly after, she joined CareFinders Total Care and stepped into her first role.

Fatima’s very first assignment was caring for a bedbound patient who depended on her completely. “At first, it was frustrating,” she recalls. “But my mindset quickly changed. I realized I was doing good for someone who genuinely needed me.” That experience shaped her outlook on caregiving and revealed the true value of her work.

From those early days, Fatima’s career has continued to grow. She became an Assistant Coordinator in 2013, later advanced to Coordinator, joined the Payroll Department in 2017, transitioned to Service Verification in 2023, and in 2024 earned her promotion to Branch Supervisor. Throughout her journey, she has been supported by her mentor, Katy Martinez, Regional Operations Director, whose guidance and encouragement remain a source of inspiration today.

Now, as Branch Supervisor, Fatima describes her role as both challenging and rewarding. Leading her branch requires patience, self-awareness, and calm while managing individuals, supporting caregivers, and addressing client needs.

Her advice to caregivers: “Be responsible. That’s the first step. When you take responsibility, you learn to love what you do—and loving what you do will elevate you.”

Fatima’s story is a reminder that caregiving is not just a job, it is a journey of resilience, growth, and the power to change lives.

🌟 Care Campaign Spotlight: Meet Sonja! 🌟

In 2018, Sonja began her journey with Panhandle Solutions as a caregiver, inspired by her own mother’s needs after a spinal stroke. What started as caring for her mom quickly grew into a full-time role and from there, a career filled with compassion and growth. ❤️

“I’ve always enjoyed being there for others, whether that’s cooking a meal, helping with bathing, or simply being a companion. Some of my favorite memories are playing Yahtzee with a client who loved the game, or working on puzzles with another. It’s the little moments that mean the most.”

Since then, Sonja has grown tremendously within Panhandle Solutions, starting as a caregiver in 2018, becoming a Care Coordinator in 2022, moving into a Service Verification role in 2023, and proudly stepping into her current position as Branch Supervisor in 2025. 🎉

Along the way, she was mentored and supported by Christen, the Regional Operations Manager, who guided and encouraged her as she grew into each new role. Today, as a Branch Supervisor, Sonja spends her days balancing dashboards, timesheets, and schedules while staying closely connected with both clients and caregivers. The most rewarding part? “Making sure our clients’ needs are met and knowing I’ve made a difference.”

From caregiver to leader, Sonja is proof that dedication and heart can take you far. We’re so proud to have her on the Panhandle Solutions team!

🌟 Caregiver Spotlight: John Obanife 🌟

Meet John, one of the incredible team members behind the care we provide every day. His journey with us started back in 2010, fresh out of the military and looking for a new path in life.

“I had just moved from Seattle and went to a job fair where I found All Metro Health Care in New York. I was trained and placed in the field soon after,” John shares. “My first client was one of the toughest cases I’ve had, he was total care, which made me so scared at first, but my client was kind, funny, and taught me a lot. That experience stuck with me.”

Since then, John has continued to grow with the company — from Caregiver, to Compliance Officer, then HR Coordinator, and now as an Employee Support Associate. His dedication and steady presence have made a difference in the lives of clients and team members alike.

When asked what advice he’d give to others looking to grow with All Metro, John keeps it simple:
“Go for it. You never know where things might lead — it’s always worth a try.”

We’re proud to have team members like John who show up every day with heart, consistency, and a commitment to care. 💙

🌟 Caregiver Spotlight: Quavarra Fallen 🌟
At Modivcare, we believe in growing from the heart. Quavarra’s story is the perfect reminder of what’s possible when compassion meets dedication.

She began her caregiving journey in 2016, driven by the strength of her mother - a single mom of four who juggled multiple jobs, including working in nursing homes. Watching her mom give her all inspired Quavarra to follow in her footsteps. “My mom trained me at my first job. She’s the one who motivated me,” Quavarra shared.

That first day was full of nerves, but Quavarra’s joy and genuine care for her clients quickly set her apart. “Seeing them happy to see me, and me happy to see them, that made all the difference,” she recalls.

Over the years, she grew into new roles: Day Program Team Member, Employee Support Specialist, and now, Orientation Specialist. Today, she brings energy and purpose to every training session, helping new caregivers understand just how meaningful this work truly is.

Quavarra’s growth is a reminder that when we care deeply and lead with purpose, incredible things can happen. We’re incredibly proud to have Quavarra as part of the Modivcare family. 💙

🌟 Caregiver Spotlight: Caryn Zelko Sours 🌟
Please join us in celebrating Caryn Zelko Sours, whose incredible journey with us began in 2005 as a caregiver. Inspired by the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) waiver program in NY, Caryn was curious, compassionate, and ready to make a difference - even when her first assignment, supporting someone with Down Syndrome and a TBI, was daunting. She rose to the challenge with courage and heart.

Caryn’s favorite part of caregiving? Sharing life. From shopping with her clients, going to the movies, and attending fairs, she found joy in every moment.

Her career has been one of steady growth: from Care Coordinator in 2007 to Office Supervisor, then opening the Corning branch in 2011 as Branch Manager, and now serving as a Performance Excellence Specialist—supporting NY growth, onboarding, and contracts across PCS states.

With guidance from mentors like Seth Shapiro and Jen Chipman, Caryn has become a key leader. What motivates her today is working across nearly every PCS state and helping others grow.

Her advice to caregivers: "Go above and beyond, speak up, and bring solutions."
To her younger self: "Be confident. Be brave."

Thank you, Caryn, for your 20 years of dedication, leadership, and heart. You are an inspiration to us all!
