Professional Tennis player Arthur Ashe once said, “True heroism is remarkably sober and very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others at whatever the cost." This quote applies to in-home caregivers daily but is even more fitting as you continue to serve our clients as we navigate the ever-changing tides of the COVID-19 epidemic.  

Without even knowing it, when you get ready for your shift, you put on your invisible cape before you head out the door.  During these uncertain times, you bring something to our clients. You bring comfort, support, and stability. The sight of a familiar face, someone they can trust, their voice is heard, and the comfort of knowing that their needs will be met can make an unmeasurable impact on someone's day.

While many people have changed their routines, yours has stayed the same. You get up every day, go out and give your all to our clients.  While so many have turned inward and retreated, you continue to go out into the world and navigate all the new obstacles that pop up. You have continued to stay dedicated to your clients and their families. While you may see yourself as just “doing your job” or “doing what you have always done," our clients and their families see you as heroes, running headfirst towards something that many are running away from.

Thank you for showing up every day and being our heroes!
