Our DSP for this week is Ame. She works at our Elgin home and has worked at Living Well for just over six years. She is a team player who works overnights and picks up extra shifts when they need a little extra help. Ame is not afraid to go the extra mile, and her humor makes her a great fit for the house.
Caroline Adesanya, Program Manager, says, “Ame she is passionate about her job and is always looking forward to coming to work. She is very dedicated and is a go getter who works together as a team.” Ame is an integral part of the morning routine, and you can find her most days helping with showers and meds, preparing breakfast, and packing lunches for day program.
Ame, thank you for making Living Well part of your life. We appreciate all of your hard work and your your continued dedication to caring for others.
