Melinda’s Thoughts 03/20/23

Hello. The hardest job in the company is being in charge of scheduling. As you can imagine, the last couple of years with COVID, ice storms, and a Caregiver shortage the stresses on Stacy, our Scheduling Manager, have been enormous. Stacy has endured and with a sense of humor, a heart full of compassion has never given up. Stacy has driven Caregivers in the snow. Stacy has gone out and worked when an emergency happens. Stacy decorates the office for April’s fools and we never actually know what to expect when we come to work as Stacy is always thinking of some fun thing to do. Stacy started out with No Worries as a Caregiver while she was completing her Medical Assistant training. Stacy stayed with her special Client for 10 years and then agreed to join the Administrative Team. For 11 years Stacy has been doing an extraordinary job as Scheduling Manager. Today, I express my deepest gratitude and congratulate Stacy on her 21st Anniversary. Thank you Stacy from all of us at No Worries!

Hello. Thank you to all of our Caregivers who went above and beyond to take care of their Clients in terrible weather conditions. This was quite a challenge, and our Caregivers were so brave and dedicated. So many stories of special efforts that people made to get to work! A special Thank you to Tina’s Dad who was kind enough to offer rides to Caregivers. Memories…I somehow got to looking at photos online of “way back when” and had to laugh that I remembered most of them! That is not me in the Candy Striper uniform but it could have been. I loved volunteering at the hospital. I also remember Home Economics class at Lake Oswego Junior High School. I was thinking about a Client of ours that just turned 100. She is amazing and what memories! Take Care. Melinda
