December has been a very busy month here at Comfort Keepers® of the Greater Williamsport Area. After the Thanksgiving holiday, we decorated the office with evergreens, twinkling lights and jingle bells. Our Christmas tree warmly greets visitors as they enter the main office.
But the true Holiday Spirit is what our Comfort Keepers® have been bringing to our clients all season long. We are constantly hearing stories of Comfort Keepers® bringing poinsettias, cookies, and other holiday treats to clients. Our Comfort Keepers® have been busing working with our clients to cook traditional holiday foods as well as decorating. It is these little details that make the season bright!
Comfort Keeper® Tina B. noticed how lonely her client was with the approaching holiday. She thought that she would brighten his holiday by bringing him a decorated Christmas tree. Needless to say, his face lit up with pure joy. Tina did this with her own money, out of the kindness of her heart.
Comfort Keeper® Janet S. held a decorating party with one of her regular clients in his Assisted Living Community. She put on some classic Christmas Carols, opened the door to his apartment and started decorating. Neighbors and friends stopped in to share in the cheer Janet was spreading as she and her client trimmed the tree and ushered in the season.
These are just some examples of the Comfort Keepers® difference. Our caregivers go the extra mile for our clients. One person who has really gone above and beyond this season is Mary Peck, our Scheduling Coordinator. The holidays always bring changes for our clients’ schedules, as they travel to visit their loved ones or have family come in to spend the holidays with them at their homes. Mary flawlessly juggles the needs of clients and caregivers. In the past hour, as I have been working on this post, Mary has handled over 2 dozen calls regarding schedule changes for the holiday weekend. She has greeted each client and caregiver warmly and has made the adjustments needed with a smile on her face. People like Mary are what make our company great. It truly is a "Mary" Christmas!
