Meet Jose, Sheridan’s Caregiver Of The Month!
Meet Jose - Caregiver of the month for July 2018

"The most rewarding thing about being a caregiver
is the feeling when you have made a difference in someone’s life."
Jose returned to caregiving after decades away as he wanted to do something meaningful again. Having worked as a nurse he has worked with a variety of clients including individuals with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, paralysis, cancer, heart disease, dementia and stroke. Jose speaks English and Spanish fluently.
Jose was chosen as our caregiver of the month because he has received excellent feedback from all of his different clients. Our Care Managers speak of his relentless work ethic, flexibility and his commitment to truly making a difference in the lives of our clients.
Jose has extensive experience caring for clients with memory diseases. The majority of dementia clients are afflicted with a wide range of behavioral disturbances, such as verbal or physical aggression, depression, hallucinations, anxiety and disinhibition and according to his experiences, Jose says it may be difficult to engage with these clients at first.
This requires great social and psychological skills as well as the caregivers knowledge and understanding of these situations. His advice for all caregivers and family members is to try to put yourself in their position, have patience, be confident and stay calm. It is easier to handle these difficult situations when you are prepared and have the necessary skill set. At the end of the day, just use your best judgment and be patient.
The most rewarding times for Jose are when his clients understand that he is there to help, and the ice is broken. ” I know the trust is there when they ask for my help - that is my happiness”.
Sheridan Care is happy to have him on our team and we continually welcome more professionals like him!

Meet Onny, Sheridan’s Caregiver of the Month!
Meet Onny - Caregiver of the month for June 2018

Onny's caregiving career began by providing care for a private client and working in a nursing home. Onny has worked with Sheridan Care since 2011. During her years with Sheridan, she has worked with several different clients and has always received excellent feedback. She has provided care for clients with Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Parkinson’s, cancer, paralysis, diabetes and other medical conditions, just to mention a few. She is also multilingual and has had opportunities to work with clients that speak English, Mandarin and Thai.
We are able to match Onny with any one of our clients anytime and even in emergency situations as she is able to adapt quickly. She is a brilliant example of what Sheridan Care strives for in hiring the A-list of caregivers for her relentless work ethic, providing excellent care, and the professional representation of Sheridan Care.
Onny has a special place in her heart for a client relationship from her past. She took care of a client who was in her 90’s and had a memory disease. Onny points out that working with this type of client requires a great deal of patience and you must have the ability to adapt to the progression of the disease. She learned a lot over the years; “You are not only taking care of the client but also supporting the family and your caregiver team”. She underlines that caregiving is so much more than just a job:
“We love our job and we always want to do what is best for the client”.
Sheridan Care is happy to have her on our team. Onny consistently is requested by many clients and we continually welcome more professionals like her!
