AGENDA ITEM #
Revised 8/06
Sandy has been a Personal Care Provider with the In-Home Services Program since July 2000.
Personal Care involves bathing and dressing. Sandy is a very caring individual and goes out of her way
for her clients, she will even assist with shopping and cleaning for them. Her clients who are elderly
and disabled are very fond of Sandy.
Sandy is a team player and never thinks of herself but of others. Whether it be a staff member who
needs assistance or a client that needs a little extra help Sandy is always there with never a complaint.
Recently one of Sandy's clients advised In-Home Services that Sandy saved her life. Sandy was at her
clients home to bathe her. This client lives alone. Sandy noticed that the client was not herself and
wanted to call the ambulance for her. The client refused. Sandy insisted that the client needed an
ambulance. The client finally consented for Sandy to call 911. This client was having a medical
emergency which would have resulted in her death if left unattended. The client realizes that if not for
Sandy's caring and persistance, the client would have died.
Sandy's attention to detail has indeed saved this persons life and Sandy deserves recognition for her
unfailing dedication to her clients.
