Celebrating Our Exceptional Care Professionals: Spotlight on Tammy
Join us in celebrating Tammy, our Burton-upon-Trent Care Professional of the month, embodying exceptional care and kindness.
Care Professional of the month
At Home Instead in Burton-upon-Trent, we’re surrounded by extraordinary individuals who show us the essence of care every single day. Our Care Professionals are not just staff; they’re compassionate people who become part of the families they assist. Amongst these stars, one shines exceptionally bright this month – Tammy.
Tammy has recently been awarded our Care Professional of the month for Burton upon Trent
We love to appreciate our Care Professionals and this doesn’t just reflect dedication to the role; it’s an acknowledgement of what a remarkable impact our team makes. Tammy’s recent support of a client during their final days exemplifies what makes her, and indeed all our Care Professionals, so special.
The skill of our Care Professionals lies not only in their training and experience to support health and wellbeing, it’s also in their capacity to bring warmth and comfort when it’s needed most. Tammy’s presence brought kindness and care for a family and our client in recent times. As the client’s health deteriorated, she offered unwavering support. The glowing report we received and the gratitude expressed by the family, shows how Tammy brought a positive influence to benefit our client and his loved ones during such a delicate time. It’s heartwarming to know that the connections our Care Professionals make and their commitment makes such a difference, and it is also something we are also honoured to do, as Tammy says “It really was a pleasure to care for him. A true gentleman.”
Celebrating the accomplishments of our team is about recognising the human touch that they bring to care. It’s about understanding that professionalism and compassion go hand in hand in delivering exceptional care at home services. We are delighted to have such a wonderful team here at Home Instead Burton upon Trent.
Today, we celebrate Tammy, as well as each member of our local team. It's their skill, compassion, dedication and commitment that make the difference every day in our local community.
