\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cKindness Counts\u201d is a campaign we launched this year to highlight how our caregivers have gone above and beyond for their clients. We find so often it\u2019s the little things that make the greatest difference in the lives of those we care for!<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 Our very first submission came back in January from one of our Bloomington-Normal Caregivers, Lori. It was a typical winter day for Lori and her client ML. The only thing peculiar about this day was that ML had mentioned that she wished she had something to put on her late husband Melvin\u2019s grave, who\u2019d passed in the fall of 2019.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 Well, Lori, being the attentive caregiver that she was, arrived to her shift with an arrangement of flowers that she\u2019d put together all on her own. To which she said, \u201c[ML] was so over-joyed and emotional, she was crying. . . She wanted me to take her to the cemetery and put it on [his grave].\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0We are so grateful to have Lori on our team, and all of the caregivers who, just like her, listen to the wants and needs of their clients. It\u2019s this level of caring that allows them to ensure that their clients aren\u2019t just living well, but happily, wherever they call home.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 Still, it\u2019s not just about the joy of the client, but what this can do for the caregiver. As for Lori, well she says, \u201cIt made me feel so good that I could do this for her, and she was at peace that there was something there for Melvin. . . I felt that I had really done something special and it made me so happy to make her day.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 It certainly is the little things that go the longest way, and these special moments don\u2019t just make our clients days, or even our caregivers, they make our day! They remind us why we do what we do!<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 So, thank you Lori, your Kindness certainly counts!<\/p>\n
