The Caregivers of the 2024 Appreciation Dinner 11/12/2024
Thank you to our wonderful group who came Tuesday night for the appreciation dinner, it was such a joy and blessing to share our time together. Any employees who were unable to make it, we hope you can feel the appreciation too and join us next year. We are so immensely grateful to all the hard work each one of you puts forward for our clients and team. Thank you to all our magnificent employees, we wouldn’t be here without you.
We encourage all employees to enjoy their holidays with their friends and families. Please discuss rescheduling your visit with your Thursday & Friday clients, so that you can enjoy your Thanksgiving weekend. Don’t forget about Veterans day on Nov. 11, and plan accordingly.
Text the rescheduled date and time to the office, no need to call. 616-234-0190. Thank you and Happy Veterans day!
This is a good time to review winter driving safety and traveling to client’s homes. First and foremost, we always want you to be safe. Shifts can be rescheduled, if the roads are not safe to drive on. A bit late is always better than having an accident pushing to get to a client’s home.
If you are going to be late, call your Client. You can view your Client’s phone number in the Wellsky app by selecting Client from the Menu, then selecting their Name. Their profile with their address and phone number are displayed. The office will call to check on you if you are more than 20 minutes late, but we ask that you connect with your senior.
If you actually need to reschedule with your Client for another time, then please do that directly. Reminder, all rescheduled shifts must be completed by Saturday of the same week. Text the reschedule information to the office at 616-234-0190 as soon as you and your client have agreed upon it.
I am also re-sharing our annual winter driving safety tips. Take a minute and double check you have all the things you need in your car, before you go out in the snow. Bundle up and be safe. Driving can be frightening and dangerous. Make sure you have all the necessary equipment in your vehicle to arrive safely at your destination.
If you must head outside and the roads may be treacherous, please keep these things in mind.
Make certain your tires are properly inflated and have plenty of tread.
Keep at least half a tank of fuel in your vehicle at all times.
Never warm up a vehicle in an enclosed area, such as a garage.
Do not use cruise control when driving on any slippery surface, such as on ice and snow.
