Caregiver of the Month September 2018
Caregiver of the Month September 2018: Ellen Williams
Easy Living Home Care is pleased to award Ellen Williams as Caregiver of the month for September 2018.
Ellen has been an employee of Easy Living Home Care since December 2017.
Ellen is a very dedicated employee. She ensures her clients are happy and well taken care of.
When Ellen was young, her grandmother lived with her family. Eventually, Ellen’s grandmother’s health deteriorated to the point that she couldn’t stay at their family home anymore and was transferred to a skilled nursing facility. Ellen would often go the facility to sit with her grandmother and keep her company. It was at this time that Ellen decided this is what she wanted to do.
When Ellen was asked what she likes most about caregiving, her response was, “working for Easy Living Home Care doesn’t feel like a job to me. I feel like I am out with a friend or Grandma. It’s the most rewarding and fun job that I have ever had.”
Thank you, Ellen, for always having a positive attitude and giving our clients the best loving care possible.
At a very young age it was always Ms. LaPorte’s passion to work with the elderly. She was a caregiver at a nursing home in high school and college and volunteered in senior centers and senior events held by the city in which she grew up. After graduation, Ms. LaPorte became a special education teacher for sixteen years.
She put her teaching career on the sidelines to raise two wonderful children, during which her passion for the elderly inspired her to start Easy Living Home Care in 2009. Ms. Laporte wanted to help people, especially seniors, find competent, qualified, and caring in-home care at reasonable rates.
Ms LaPorte takes an active role in conducting and managing all operations of her business. She is patient, compassionate and listens. Ms. Laporte is always available to her clients and staff.
In her spare time, Lori volunteers for the American Red Cross and Leashes of Love canine rescue organization.
