Home Care Assistance Names Dean Phillips 2014 Caregiver of the Year at the Annual Convention
Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) October 07, 2014 -- Home Care Assistance, North America’s leading provider of in-home care, is proud to announce that Dean Phillips of Home Care Assistance Indianapolis is the recipient of the company’s 2014 Caregiver of the Year Award. This prestigious award is presented each year to the caregiver who best exemplifies Home Care Assistance’s values and core beliefs, embodying the company’s mission to change the way the world ages. Dean was honored at Home Care Assistance’s Annual Convention held in San Diego. His tremendous compassion for his clients, commitment to helping them regain a remarkable level of independence despite physical limitations, admirable professionalism and glowing client reviews set him apart from over 4,000 caregivers across North America.
“Dean exemplifies the ideal caregiver, embodying compassion, understanding and creativity,” said Michael Rothenberger, owner of Home Care Assistance of Indianapolis. “Not only does Dean treat his clients as if they are his own family members, but he takes their wellbeing to heart and helps them realize the level of independence they can still achieve. He continues to go above and beyond what is expected of him, truly caring for others.”
Dean has had a distinguished career at Home Care Assistance of Indianapolis since joining the company. Over the past two years, he has provided outstanding support for his clients. One client’s story is especially heart-warming. Suzy, who initially refused home care, grew to love Dean within the first hour of meeting. He encouraged her independence and motivated her to lead a healthier, more active lifestyle that included regular walks. Dean’s ability to go the extra mile in encouraging his clients has changed Suzy’s life in the most positive of ways.
Dean’s own personal experience with his mother is what initially inspired him to become a caregiver. “My mother had become ill with a brain tumor and I became her full-time caregiver,” said Dean. “I grew closer to my mom and I realized how rewarding it felt to help her. Caregiving is the most fulfilling experience of my life and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to change lives.”
The Caregiver of the Year Award Ceremony marked the end of the 2014 Home Care Assistance Annual Convention, where Home Care Assistance franchise owners and corporate staff gathered to celebrate the company’s commitment to changing the way the world ages through high-caliber in-home care and community education.
