When a Snowstorm Illuminates Who SYNERGY HomeCare of Central IL Really Is

Whether it takes you by surprise or you know it is coming, snow days present unique opportunities and unique challenges. Over the past few days, Central IL has received a thick blanket of snow. This posed a unique challenge for our team. How do we make sure our clients receive the care they need all while keeping our exceptional caregivers safe?

The answer? Lots and lots of teamwork! First, it took determination from our outstanding caregivers. SYNERGY HomeCare has an incredible team of compassionate, kind, and dedicated caregivers. Our caregivers work hard to make sure their clients receive the best care possible. Jim and Gaye Aaberg, owners, and our office staff spent the day picking up our caregivers and safely driving them to their client’s home. Even family members of our office staff volunteered to help out. The car of a Decatur caregiver was stuck in a drift in the middle of the road. Office Manager, Tessa Moore, and her father shoveled and maneuvered the car out of the drift.  Jim and Gaye offered a chauffeur service and took caregivers to and from their destinations from 6 am to 11 pm.

For most, snow days are enjoyed snuggled up at home with a warm cup of hot cocoa. Fortunately, for SYNERGY HomeCare, our snow day was enjoyed out in the elements, side by side with our fantastic caregivers whose kindness, dedication, and selflessness make SYNERGY HomeCare of Central IL who we are.
