Caregiver of the Month

Please join me in congratulating Jenny Hurt as we honor her as our December Caregiver of the Month!

Jenny has been with Gauthier Family Home Care for over 7 years now. She is our caregiver with the most seniority and has been reliable and steadfast in multiple ways over the past 7 years. Here are just a few:

She bonds with the clients: Jenny is the kind of caregiver that meets a family, bonds with them, and stays with them until the very end. Her clients become like family so much that she is close with the families well after the clients have passed away. One client whose spouse has been deceased for years now still invites Jenny to vacation at her place up north! Jenny provides a sense of comfort that families long for in this business and they all love her for it. She has an unwavering ability to make sure the clients are all taken care of and her demeanor exudes confidence and well-being. The clients know they are safe when Jenny is there.

She communicates well: When Jenny has a concern, she brings it to us. We love that because we love our caregivers and want them to tell us when something isn’t going well so that we can try and fix things for them. We’d rather be given an opportunity to fix it than for her to become unhappy and go somewhere else. Communication is the key to our success and we appreciate that Jenny is a pro at this!

Something our schedulers adore about her: Jenny answers us – no matter what. If a text is sent to ask about a shift, Jenny answers – even if it’s a no. The schedulers love this because then they can move on down the list of people to try. It’s tough when we don’t hear back at all because we may think it’s a possibility that a caregiver will take a shift. But Jenny let’s us know no matter what the answer is, and we love her for it! Jenny is also fantastic with attendance. She only calls off when something personal comes up, and she gives us plenty of advance notice on it. Those two things make all the difference as far as the scheduling goes.

For all of the reasons listed here, we want to honor and thank Jenny for everything she is and continues to be to us and our clients! She’s an incredible part of our family here at Gauthier and we feel honored to work alongside her.
