Welcome to our new Scheduling Coordinator, Kristy!
By now, you probably all have had a chance to talk with Kristy when calling the office. She is a fun, bubbly personality and we are happy to add her positive energy to our scheduling team in Olympia.
Kristy hails from Missouri but currently lives in Yelm with her 2 children, ages 7 and 4. When she is not working on your schedules, you can find her enjoying adventures in the PNW (like hiking Mt. St. Helens in July!), working on her Jeep, or at sporting events with her kids.
She is enjoying her new home in the Northwest and has enjoyed her time at AHC so far. She likes challenges and loves people and we think that is the perfect recipe for a great scheduler! Welcome to the team, Kristy!

Caregiver Profile:
Elaine I.
8 years with AHC
Elaine has been a caregiver since 1996 and here is what she says:
What do you love about being a caregiver?
"I want to be a light in someone’s life and help them live the best life they can given their circumstances. The b
est part of taking care of people is when they don’t need me anymore because they’ve improved. I've had that happen a few times."
Any advice you would give to a newer caregiver?
You can’t have a thin skin in this job. The people you are taking care of usually don’t feel well, so you have to encourage yourself and learn to vent to others.
Why have you stayed with Advanced Health Care for so long
?
It’s a good care giving family. You know you are with a good company when you see some of the same faces that have been here longer than I have.
Thank you for your 8 years
of service, Elaine!
We appreciate you.

Congratulations to Caregiver Leanne on Her Caregiver of the Year Award!
|
At the end of May, the
Washington chapter of the Home Care Association of America had their annual conference for owners and leaders of home care agencies.
Every year at the conference, they honor a caregiver with the "
Caregiver of the Year Award". This year's winner was our very own Leanne M.! She was nominated by a client and family members of someone she cares for with our agency. This nomination was submitted to the Washington State Home Care Association and Leanne was chosen among all other agency caregivers to receive the 2019 award!
We are so proud of Leanne and her accomplishments. She was able to travel up to Lynnwood on May 7th and received her award on stage at the conference.
Congratulations!

Happiness Corner
We loved all the #HappyActs sticky notes that you wrote and shared with us at the skills fair station we had this year:
"Happiness Corner". We are going to share some of these awesome ideas of how you share happiness in the newsletter over the next few months. Hopefully, they make you smile and happy, too! We can all use a little more happiness and positivity in life, right?
I Will Share Happiness By:
"Always having a smile on my face to start my shift and projecting a calm and positive attitude for clients."
"Making eye contact and touching when appropriate. Drawing out their life stories."
"Showing compassion to my client and the family. Giving his wife some relief knowing her husband is in safe hands."
"Allowing them to live the best life they can, no matter their circumstances."
