There’s not been a dull moment as the U.S. kicked off 2022 with an aggressive new Covid variant on the loose. Thankfully, Omicron appears to have peaked here. We’re relieved that the vaccines and boosters have kept so many people out of hospitals because there truly is no place like home. In this extra challenging health landscape, we’re extra grateful for our Care Pros. They’ve really stepped up to make sure our clients have received the high quality care they need and deserve.
As usual, it was hard to single out just one Outstanding Care Pro from each market. To do this, Client Managers and Care Pro Relationship Managers look at each Care Pro’s record of dependability, consistency, and positive visit reports, as well as stories of Care Pros going above and beyond our already high standards. The 19 Care Pros who were ultimately chosen this month also stand out for living the Honor Values:
- Care Starts with Connection
- Great Solutions Demand Empathy
- When You Grow, We Grow
- Our Differences Propel Us
We’re grateful to work for and alongside these wonderful people.
