20 Safety Tips For Seniors Living Alone

Growing Older At Home: 6 Great Tips For Aging In Place Safely

Congratulations to our August Caregiver of the month, Burnita Robertson-Cureton. Burnita has been with us for a little over 2 years now and she is absolutely a great asset to our caregiving team! The care that she gives each and every one of her clients is phenomenal! She goes above and beyond to ensure each one of her clients are receiving the care they deserve. Way to go Burnita!!! We had a chance to sit down with Burnita and ask her a few questions regarding why she enjoys being a Caregiver and this is what she had to say: AHR: Why did you choose to be a Caregiver? Burnita: I chose to be a caregiver because I enjoy helping people; making them smile, spending time with them, taking walks, helping with activities of daily living such as bathing, grooming, feeding, preparing meals etc.. Helping them to strive for  their independence. I learn from each individual experience.. Treating everyone with dignity and respect. AHR: What makes you the most excited about working with seniors? Burnita: What makes me most excited about working with seniors is that they all have a story to tell about their past life experiences whether it be with family, friends, hobbies or positions held. Some have traveled the world, owned businesses, were doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc. Lasting memories that brings a smile upon their faces. AHR: What advice would you give to other caregivers just starting out in the home care field? Burnita: The advice I would give to caregivers starting out in the home care field would be don’t take this job if you're just looking for a paycheck. You have to have a passion for helping others who are in need of assistance and want to make a difference in their lives. This job is not for the weak. Some cases require more assistance than others. You may even develop a bond with the clients and families. Don’t bring your personal problems to work. Be patient but most of all treat everyone the way you would want to be treated. AHR: What do you like most about working with Assisting Hands Richmond? Burnita: What I like about working for the company is that they recognize you, your hard work and dedication. They offer bonuses and incentives. They take the time to listen and show that they care not only about the clients but they care about the caregivers as well. The management team is great and supportive. Assisting Hands is A Great Place To Work! Burnita, thank you for all that you do and for living the AHR Shared Values each and every day! *Our STAR (Setting Targets Achieving Results) program recognizes Caregivers for outstanding work and dedication.
