This is an entry to recognize a top caregiver in the industry, submitted by Geneva at Visiting Angels in California. Please join us is recognizing a care job well done.
Marlon cares for a gentleman who lives in a small residential care facility, giving him one-on-one attention and getting him out and about in the community. He has been the consistent care that the resident can count on, providing friendly and compassionate support through the challenges that this older man’s disease presents. Marlon also provides care for a gentleman who lives at home with his wife and has made a huge difference to this family. The care recipient was not able to get out of his home until Marlon came along but now can enjoy time with his wife outside of the home environment since Marlon can assist him in the car. Marlon has the beautiful and wonderful way of knowing when and how to intervene and knowing when to allow private time and space for his care recipients. He is devoted to assisting people to enjoy life with dignity and a sense of normalcy that was missing without his care. Our client said it the best: having Marlon with my parents is like driving a Cadillac instead of a Pinto.
