These Boots Were Made for Walkin

I just heard a great story about one of our notoriously upbeat and positive CAREGivers. The story goes, the CAREGiver, Joanie, was helping one of our seniors put on her ole' cowboy boots to go out for a barbecue. Obviously she shouldn’t have been wearing cowboy boots, but Joanine knew it would make her happy to at least try to see if she could wear them. The daughter called during this "exercise," and all she could hear was laughter!

"Here was my 80-year old mother shuffling around in the house in booths that didn't fit and Joanie by her side laughing with her."

There are a few more stories about our CAREGivers on our website including how to become one.
