Melinda’s Thoughts 07/11/22

Hello. I woke up this morning thinking about the extraordinary people I am so fortunate to work with. I am grateful our Caregivers choose to stay in the healthcare profession when it has been hard with COVID and so much other illness going around. I am also grateful for an Admin Team that continues to do hard things and hangs in there when times are challenging. The hardest job is scheduling. You never know when you are going to get a sick call or an emergency call and vacation scheduling combined with the usual scheduling duties is stressful. Recently, Stacy did all the scheduling for a month. Every day and night while Haley was on maternity leave. Stacy did a fantastic job and we are all extremely grateful for the 20 ½ years she has been working so hard for No Worries! I would also like to congratulate Maria, our Client Services Manager, who learned how to do Invoicing and Payroll and covered for Haley on those duties. Great people at No Worries who use their passion for helping others to make a difference. Thank you! Melinda

Hello. I received a neighborhood text yesterday that said, “Our outdoor light wires just caught on fire. Not sure if the power outage is the cause. I put it out with extinguisher. Fire Department on way.” “Fire Department said when power went out it caused wire to “arc” and caught pine needles on fire. Thank goodness I had a fire extinguisher close by.” I didn’t remember that for an electrical fire you cannot use water. It made me think about where our fire extinguisher is. When we begin services we check to see if our new Client has a fire extinguisher. I am going to recommend to our Safety Committee that we include in the Service Plan where the fire extinguisher is. It is no help if you can’t find it! Take Care. Melinda
