Melinda’s Thoughts 09/19/22

Hello. As a nurse, I created No Worries around a strong nursing model. As you can imagine with the nursing shortage, it is incredibly  difficult to hire nurses. We have been so fortunate that Registered Nurse, Kahlei joined our Team! About No Worries: We are moving this Friday, 1.7 miles to the Greenburg Commons building on the   other side of Washington Square. Our new  address is: 9900 SW Greenburg Rd, Suite 150, Tigard, OR 97223. I am busy going through 25 years of stuff. The benefit of this move, is that the new office does not have a huge storage room! Interesting how space attracts stuff! We will have photos of our new office in the next newsletter. Take Care. Melinda

Hello. I am so proud of our Caregivers! What do you do when you take care of a couple in their home and one of them gets COVID? At No Worries, we set up great procedures and for the second time in the last two years our Caregivers have done such a great job that the spouse did not get COVID. This is not easy. Lots of putting on full PPE and being so careful not to spread germs. We take care of very fragile clients and the efforts of our Caregivers to keep our Clients and each other safe is impressive! On a personal note…I am finally getting over COVID and grateful to be improving. I have watched all the movies I could ever want to watch, I have read many books, and as you can see from the back of this newsletter-I have on occasion gone bonkers on Pinterest. I have also had a log of time to think and have discovered that I am grateful to be my age. I have learned a lot and lately have learned to be kinder to myself and accept that I am still learning and trying my best and that is sufficient. I am also looking at priorities differently. All of a sudden I found myself at a stage in life where I am not trying to collect more but give more.  Welcome to full-time Registered Nurse, Kahlei. We are so fortunate that Kahlei has years of experience in community health working as a Hospice Nurse. Kahlei begins full-time work with us next week. A full introduction will be in our next newsletter. Take Care. Melinda
