Celebrating Our Caregivers--Hammer's Rosaline Williams & NER's Rita Tri |
Congrats to Rosaline Williams from Hammer's (west metro) Royal Oaks Apartments and Rita Tri from NER's (east metro) Belmont home on being named our Celebrate a Caregiver Award recipients for April!
Each month, we ask Hammer’s and NER’s Program Directors to nominate DSPs and APMs on their team who are going above and beyond to make a difference in the life (or lives) of those they serve. One nominee from Hammer and one from NER will be selected each month and will receive their choice of a $25 gift card to Starbucks, Target, Holiday, or Cub Foods.
