Our caregiver of the year, Adeniyi Williams, has earned this distinction as a result of his devotion to his clients, his exemplary team work and his stellar performance.
Adeniyi has been with Eldercare Services a number of years as he attends school. Adeniyi always communicates clearly and frequently his needs and Home Care Services is able to adjust and modify his schedule so that his clients have the least amount of disruption and Adeniyi is able to obtain the hours he needs. Communication is one of Adeniyi’s strengths.
Adeniyi works with several clients with advanced dementia and very challenging behaviors. Rather than look at the clients or their behaviors as a problem, Adeniyi looks at working with all clients as an opportunity to enhance their quality of life and to improve his skills. Adeniyi is always looking for new information and finds new ways to handle challenging issues in a professional manner. There is not a case we would hesitate to assign him to. Adeniyi is a skilled caregiver in both assisting with physical care and emotional care needs.
Adeniyi works a variety of assignments and always devotes at least one week-end day to the client so that his job share partners also have a day off on a weekend. Adeniyi is a team player and values and respects his co-workers.
Adeniyi has assisted us many times in an emergency, this creates a disruption to his personal plans but ensures that his clients have a familiar face and an experienced care giver at all times. Adeniyi is a reliable employee and Home Care Services can count on his responsiveness. Whether he can or cannot accept assignments or help us in an emergency he always calls us back quickly and is always very polite.
Adeniyi’s team work becomes obvious when he assists his co-workers and the office to ensure the client has consistent care and he communicates his experiences and the clients needs clearly to the office. Adeniyi always ensures, before he leaves his assignments and passes the responsibilities on to his co-workers that he has “left it as he found it” clean and neat. Adeniyi is a great team player.
