About Patience:
Why did you become a caregiver? I chose to work for RVNAhealth because RVNAhealth is always working very close with their caregivers and always listens to our concerns. They work with us to solve problems as quickly as they can and they try by all means to make a good match with employees and clients which makes it easy to do my job.

Gregory

Hometown: Bridgeport, CT

Above and Beyond Nomination: “It was an extra challenging Saturday afternoon, having an urgent request for a service to start as soon as possible, from an overwhelmed family of a client, who at that time seemed like they really needed help! Out of the long list of caregivers I reached out to, considering the time and how late it was, only Gregory was able to take the task and said yes in a heartbeat! After coming out from a 12-hour shift, he drove 48 minutes to go to this client. Sadly, when he got there, the client had to be hospitalized and we weren’t informed soon enough. Despite that, he remained calm, cool, and not even a slight tone of disappointment or tiredness could be heard from his voice–even though that would mean another 48 minutes of his time to drive back! His calmness and coolness were inspiring and contagious. It made me realize that, while this task may have taken all the energy I had and may have not turned out the way we hoped it would, it was definitely worth all the effort of trying to help! Thank you, Greg.”

Cristhin

Hometown: Waterbury, CT

Above and Beyond Nomination: “Cristhin is one of the most caring people. She has taken excellent care of our mother and continues to give excellent care to our dad. She has gone above and beyond our expectations, and has really been there for our entire family, not just their clients these past few months. It is not just the physical care, but she will sit, talk, and listen to our parents’ stories and really make them feel loved and cared for. [She and our team of caregivers] have become part of our family. God has blessed us with three outstanding care givers!” – Keith and Jaime E., Ridgefield, CT

Iggy

Hometown: Newark, NJ

Above and Beyond Nomination: “Iggy has been a terrific help for my wife and we appreciate her!” – George M., Ridgefield, CT

“Iggy has been selfless these past few months, even postponing a vacation in the best interest of her client. She is dedicated, hardworking and patient at all times.” – RVNAhealth StayWELL Staff

Liz

Hometown: Waterbury, CT

Above and Beyond Nomination: “Liz came to us in February as a temporary substitute for a great caregiver who traveled to South Africa “temporarily” to get married and planned to return. Coronavirus had other plans, and Liz has been a wonder. She is of course an impeccable caregiver so far as her fastidiousness about cleanliness, health, and safety. […] [S]he has bent over backward to make things easier for our whole family. After she arrives, takes her own temperature, and puts on her mask and gloves, if the weather is good, she makes sure [my husband] eats the breakfast she prepares him out on the porch. She brings in the mail and the paper and reminds us to don gloves before we handle it. When we get groceries, she insists on washing each package and piece of produce to make sure it’s COVID-clear. The areas where the two of them spend their time stay clean and neat. And on and on…” – Martha, Ridgefield, CT
