To every nurse, therapist, aide, and support staff member who makes it possible for individuals to remain safely at home — thank you. Your dedication strengthens families, enhances quality of life, and ensures that care truly meets people where they are.

Here’s to honoring the caregivers who make Ohio a better place to age and heal. 💙✨

Congratulations to Eddra Blackshear, Direct Support Professional at Hattie Larlham, on being named one of the recipients of the 2025 OHCA ID/DD Excellence Awards!

For eight years, Eddra has been a dependable, compassionate presence—caring for residents like family and stepping in wherever she’s needed. She routinely floats between homes, covers shifts during staffing shortages, and even maintains her DOT certification so she can drive the agency bus when transportation gaps arise.

Eddra is always expanding her skills, earning delegated medication administration certification and learning med passes at multiple homes so she can support residents across Oak, Wood, Solon, and Aurora locations.

Her compassion is evident in the relationships she builds—most notably helping a resident admitted during Covid move from anger and isolation to trust, friendship, and joyful community outings she thoughtfully planned.

A natural leader and trainer, Eddra sets high standards and helps ensure continuity of care throughout the homes.

Thank you, Eddra, for your extraordinary dedication.

🌟 Congratulations to Mark Hutchinson, Regional Director for Echoing Hills, on being named one of the 2025 OHCA ID/DD Excellence Award recipients! 🌟

For 30 years, Mark has embodied what true leadership looks like—listening without judgment, believing in people, and empowering his team to grow. He leads by example, setting high standards while creating an environment where learning and compassion thrive.

Even though his role doesn’t require direct time with the individuals served, Mark has always chosen to be present. He’s traveled with them, invested in their lives, and even made dreams come true—like planning a family vacation to take an individual to Disney World after learning it was her lifelong wish. She still talks about that trip today.

🌟 Congratulations to Julie Mills, Executive Director at Allay Senior Care of Meyers Lake, on being named a 2025 OHCA Assisted Living Excellence Award recipient! 🌟

With 20 years in long-term care, Julie is a hands-on, energetic, and compassionate leader who never hesitates to jump into any task—fixing plumbing, patching walls, or helping staff wherever she’s needed. Her “can-do” attitude sets the tone for the entire community.

Julie brings joy and creativity to daily life at Allay. Whether she’s dressed as Lucille Ball, a rock star, or the Easter Bunny, or cheering residents on during water park day, she ensures both staff and residents have fun while feeling supported. She’s also known for surprising everyone with homemade treats—often using items borrowed from her own kitchen.

Her impact extends into the community through Alzheimer’s Association walks and the caregiver support group she leads monthly. Julie fosters an environment of trust, empowerment, and compassion, making her an irreplaceable part of Allay Senior Care.

🌟 Congratulations to Jonylah “Ms. Jay” Goins, Activities Director at Astoria Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation, on being named a 2025 OHCA Skilled Nursing Excellence Award recipient! 🌟

Ms. Jay is truly the heart of Astoria. Since 2013, she has gone above and beyond to make residents feel valued, engaged, and at home—crafting meaningful programs like Men’s Club, Bible Study, and the beloved Peanut Auction, and never hesitating to host activities on evenings, weekends, or holidays.

Her dedication extends far beyond her role. When the facility was without a dietary manager, she stepped in to cook dinner; she has assisted in housekeeping, admissions, and hospitality—always putting resident comfort first.

Ms. Jay also strengthens community ties, partnering with local schools, churches, and volunteers so every resident receives personalized holiday gifts and regular fellowship. As a breast cancer survivor, she leads the Astoria team in the annual Making Strides Walk.

From music performances and veteran programs to outings and special events, her enthusiasm brings joy to everyone around her. Even in times of personal loss, she continued showing the same love and commitment she shares daily.

Ms. Jay’s compassion, creativity, and unwavering dedication make her so deserving of this honor. 💙✨

🌟 Congratulations to Laura Dicken, Life Enrichment Coordinator at The Legacy Assisted Living, on being named a 2025 OHCA Assisted Living Excellence Award recipient! 🌟

Laura is the definition of kindness and excellence. She constantly goes above and beyond to make every resident feel included and valued—whether she’s arranging fishing trips, helping a former farmer build a garden, connecting veterans with fellow vets, or ensuring even bedbound residents are part of every activity.

Her creativity transforms the entire community. From Shark Week to Carnival Day to this year’s Wizard of Oz Halloween theme, Laura brings every event to life with detail, energy, and heart. She inspires the whole staff to join in and creates a sense of joy and togetherness that residents and families feel every day.

Laura’s dedication to knowing each resident and lifting up her team is unmatched. Please join us in celebrating her well-deserved recognition! 💛✨

🏡 Congratulations to Samantha Waaland, Home Health Physical Therapist with National Church Residences, on being named one of the recipients of the 2025 OHCA Home Health & Hospice Excellence Awards!

Sam is so much more than a physical therapist—she embodies compassionate, person-centered care in every sense. She sees her patients not just as diagnoses, but as whole people with stories, struggles, and hopes.

During one home visit, Sam noticed a patient was upset—not because of pain, but because her phone, her lifeline to family, wasn’t working. Sam paused therapy, sat with her, and spent the time restoring that connection before continuing care. That simple act turned a routine visit into a powerful moment of dignity and humanity.

Her compassion extends beyond her patients—Sam mentors new clinicians, strengthens team processes, and advocates for older adults to access the full range of Medicare benefits and services they deserve. Through her dedication, countless Ohioans have been able to age with dignity, safety, and independence in the homes they love.

As we celebrate Home Health Month this November, we are proud to honor caregivers like Sam who remind us that excellence in home care isn’t just about skill—it’s about heart. 💙
