At SYNERGY HomeCare, we take pride in recognizing the exceptional caregivers who make a difference in the lives of their clients. This month, we’re thrilled to highlight Laura, another dedicated Care Professional who has been an invaluable part of the SYNERGY HomeCare team for the past six months.
Laura’s journey into caregiving began with a deeply personal experience—taking care of her mother. Her experience inspired her to pursue a career where she could share her compassion and make a meaningful impact on others. Laura grew up in an older family and developed a natural connection and comfort with the elderly. One of Laura’s gifts is this experience with the older generations which allows her to form strong and trusting client relationships.
What sets Laura apart is her love for engaging with her clients. She cherishes the conversations she has with them, often delving into stories about their past and different time periods. Laura has always loved learning about history and talking to clients who have lived through different times is priceless.
Clients share tales that provide valuable lessons about life’s ups and downs. These conversations give Laura a deeper appreciation for the world and she gets to know her clients’ unique perspectives. She even discovered one client was stationed in the same place as her own granddad during the Vietnam war! These moments of connection enrich both her life and the lives of those she cares for.
Laura’s clients know they can depend on her, not just for her professionalism but also for the respect and trust she brings to every interaction. She believes that growing old is a privilege, and she approaches her work with the utmost care and dignity, treating her clients as though they were her own family.
For aspiring caregivers, Laura shares this important advice: “Get as much training as you can so you can be confident providing the best care.” Her dedication to learning and improving her skills ensures that she provides top-notch care every day.
We’re so proud to have Laura on our team and grateful for the warmth and positivity she brings to her clients and colleagues alike. Thank you, Laura, for your outstanding commitment to caregiving!
