Kristy

Hometown: Danbury, CT

Why did you become a caregiver? I became a caregiver because I want to do what I can to ease other people’s pain, and to show them that they are loved and valued no matter what…

Above and Beyond Nomination: “Kristy had been working with a client who was placed on hospice during her time with him. She was working 4 hours a day for 5 days a week for quite a while, until he started to require 24-hour care. Kristy reworked her personal schedule so that she could work extra hours and extra days with her client who was in his last stages of life because the family preferred her to be there. She created an exceptional bond with the client and his wife, that allowed him to be comfortable up until the end.” – RVNAhealth staff, Danielle
