Caregiver Profile:

Linda C.

9 years years with AHC

What do you like about being a caregiver?

I enjoy helping people. I see people that need help and I just want to do it. I feel like that's what God has called me to do. It took me a long time to figure that out, but I did.

Any advice you would give to a newer caregiver?

When you go into a home, you're taking care of their needs and you've got to consider that person's likes and dislikes - their way of doing things. It doesn't matter if you think there's a better way. If you organize something for them, make sure THEY can find it and that it makes sense to THEM.

What do you like about working here at Advanced?

I like the way you guys do things. I like the home chart that we can communicate in and that we get to talk to a nurse when we need.

Thank you for your years of service, Linda!

Could you use an extra $200?

That is how much we PAY YOU for every person you refer to us as an employee. Once they are hired and work the 160 hour requirement, we write you a check! Send us a good caregiver or nurse that you know today.

Caregiver Wisdom: In Your Own Words

If you have wisdom or tips to share here, please submit them to Lynessa via email or phone and you may see your wisdom here next time!

"When doing laundry, wash whites with whites, colors with colors, darks, with darks. Don't wash anything that says 'dry clean only'. Remind your client or the family that it says 'dry clean only' and see what they want you to do."

"Even if you are scared, walk in with confidence".

"Don't let the client bully you into giving out your phone number - ever!"
