ABOUT The AUGUST "HEART AT WORK" Nominee

Name : Christie Hammonds, CNA !        

     IN CHRISTIE’S WORDS: I’m a mother of five beautiful girls, 5 grandchildren, and a bouncing boy on the way next month and a wonderful husband.  I have been working for ARRC One for a couple years now, I must say after working for agencies for the past 30 years, this staff is the best, working for someone that actually cares, and will have you back in many situations, someone that’s hands on with the facilities, working to get the best for us, I look forward to working for ARRC One many more years thank you!

OUR HEART OF THE MONTH - Christie Hammonds

     IN OUR WORDS: Christie has referred at least 5 staff members to our team. She is a positive influence to a team approach and has supported management efforts to curb call offs and take charge of tardies. Christie will “look out for” new team members, partner with them and mentor them. When an ARRC One staff member is on the deployment sheet but not in the house, she will call us and sometimes them, to make sure they know they are scheduled! When kitchen help is needed, she’s the first to offer help.

When GNH had a tough two weeks due to management changes, Christie supported ARRC One’s efforts when we said “TRUST US”.

Christie has helped a staff member of the Grove at NH with rides to work, and rides to medical appointments.

She stands behind caring for people who care for people!

Despite all of this, Hannah still makes time to update us. She never loses her optimism, and she makes my aunt smile as well.”

OUR HEART OF THE MONTH - Ava Daniels

We would like to congratulate Ava Daniels on being named our heart of the month. Avah has worked as a home health aide for ArrcOne from the beginning of our business.

Avah handles each client as if they were family, regardless of whether they are a long-term client or just a fill-in visitor for the day.

Over the years, there have been many changes at our organization, and Avah has adapted to each new project and policy modification.

We congratulate Avah on her devotion to our business and dedication.

TESTIMONIALS

*Avah has requested that we only use her first name when sharing her story; we are excited to highlight her kindness and dedication this month.
According to Alice, Peter’s daughter, Avah is the caregiver of the month for January for the following reasons:

“Beginning in November 2021, Avah started looking after my 99-year-old father, Peter, and she has fully won him over. He is delighted for her to take care of his personal needs now that she has earned his trust; this is something that his former caregivers were not always allowed to do. He constantly looks sharp, his disposition has improved, and they are pals in real life.”

“Avah prepares healthy meals for him, and he really adores her fruit cakes! She is quite patient and takes her time getting to know him and his interests. It’s a big improvement that Dad’s skin tone is decent and that his feet and ankles are no longer bloated. Despite Dad’s limited mobility, she consistently shows support.”

“She has been with her father nonstop for more than 10 weeks and is absolutely attached to him. He spent more than 30 years in the Army, so he now has a regimen that works for him. Avah is very cheerful and draws the best out of her father; you may frequently hear them laughing together. Since Mum passed away in June 2021, Dad has been convinced by Avah to listen to his music as well. He now appears at ease and content.”

“Like her father, Avah takes the initiative to check the safety of potential guests. Even though she claims to be only doing her job, she goes above and above. Simply put, we adore Avah!”
