Aide of the Quarter
We are proud to announce that PCA Ron Grotke, who has worked for the agency since 2001, has been chosen as our Aide of the 4th Quarter for 2011. Ron displays good judgment when caring for his clients, ensuring that their needs are being met per the care plan. He has excellent attendance—it takes a major storm or disaster for Ron to miss a day of work, and he does so with hesitation and an apology. Referring to Ron as being “reliable” or “dependable” even seems inadequate. We cannot say enough about how much we rely on Ron’s dependability. After ten years of employment, our aides are not required to work weekends/holidays. Ron has continued to work every other weekend with a client that has been in his care for many years. What makes Ron stand out to us can best be expressed in one word, “consistency”. Thank you Ron for all that you do each and every day for your clients and for being such a good representation of our agency. Congratulations Ron!
