Bronx/Westchester Caregiver of the Month for February – Beryl Thomas
Ms. Beryl Thomas. Beryl wasn’t chosen for Employee of the Month because she works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. She was selected because the 36 hours a week she does work as a Home Health Aide for Caring People are filled with compassion and dedication to serve. In the nine years Beryl has been a Home Health Aide, she has worked with 17 different clients.
She has a natural ability to form immediate yet long-lasting relationships with clients and their families. Colleagues have been fortunate enough to be present during Beryl’s care to her clients and have experienced the tender loving care she provides. Her work and client’s testimonies leave us all with smiles.
Many of her of clients are in delicate situations, many have advanced stages of dementia, but Beryl is there for them. She travels to Manhattan, Bronx and Westchester County. She is really an example of what every Caring People employee should strive to be.
Her dedication and compassion are revealed time and again when she accepts short notice shifts and remains flexible to whatever changes occur. Beryl just wants to make sure the clients are cared for and continue to do what she believes is her calling, to care for others.
