Every day, StayingWELL caregivers touch lives in profound ways.

Our award-winning StayingWELL hourly and live-in caregivers provide a range of non-medical services to make our clients’ lives easier and more comfortable. But they do a lot more than that.

They bring comfort and joy. Smiles and peace. They help lives breathe easier and they care deeply for the individuals and families they serve.  We are happy to introduce you to a few members of the team. 

StayingWELL Above & Beyond Awards

 

Each month, RVNAhealth recognizes StayingWELL Caregivers who have been nominated for Above & Beyond Awards. The award recognizes exceptional performances and consistent dedication to their work and our clients. Nominations are accepted from StayingWELL clients, as well as RVNAhealth and StayingWELL team members.  Above & Beyond Award winners are celebrated with a special certificate, award pin, and a gift card.

“Bringing her wisdom and expertise, Icilda rapidly understood my Mom’s personality and adapted to make her comfortable, which is not always easy to do! Icy gives the highest level of care to my mother to keep her safe, while at the same time allowing her the maximum amount of independence.”

Our caregiver is very patient with my husband and let's him do things himself, no matter how long it takes. When we had a caregiver who didn't match, another was assigned to us.

Compliments from the Team

A word cloud of terms that RVNAhealth team members think describe our caregivers

When asked to describe our Caregivers in a single word, RVNAhealth team members were hardly speechless.  From ‘Ardent’ and  ‘Kind,’ to ‘Angels’ and ‘Strong,’ the responses were heartfelt and abundant. The heart above tells the story.
