Home caregiver Joyce Brown of Vernon, Connecticut, was awarded a $5,000 check from her employer, Assisted Living Services Inc. (ALS) in Westport for providing exceptional client care for the month of September 2021. The award was delayed because of the pandemic, but brought much elation nonetheless when presented to her at the home of her 89-year-old client Bertha Holden-Stokes.
Mario D”™Aquila, chief operating officer at ALS in Cheshire, presented Brown with the award saying, “There is nothing better than giving back to the employees that exceed their call of duty.”
Brown, who has been with ALS for 15 years, also received a crystal statue and a certificate of merit.
To select the winning caregiver each month, ALS clients are called at random by Homecare Pulse, a third-party survey company that measures customer satisfaction.
