Working at Community Connections Healthcare has its pros and cons like any other role, but overall, I truly enjoy working for the company. My supervisor is very supportive and provides the necessary resources to complete my work effectively. Additionally, my interactions with other staff members have been both helpful and informative.
The company meetings and trainings have been extremely educational and beneficial. I have learned a lot and always look forward to further opportunities, as this training has significantly improved my ability to assist my clients.
Some of my clients require assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), such as getting dressed, navigating stairs, moving between rooms, or walking to transportation for appointments. Others require help with Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs), including meal preparation, grocery shopping, picking up medications, and housekeeping.
I have one client that I have to apply a topical cream and massage it in, because she has chronic back and shoulder pain. Another client that I have needs help sometimes to get transferred from his bed to his wheelchair, so I can change his linens. Then there’s one client who sometimes just needs help getting out of the bed, because they just can’t move sometimes.
All of my clients have different needs, but the one thing they have in common that I provide is an understanding that they just want to be heard and know that their voice matters. They want someone who will give them respect, who is dependable, and willing to help however possible.
This is the main reason I like working for Community Connections Healthcare. I like helping people and helping people is what we do.
