A typical day for April includes assisting with daily care needs, shopping, and transportation. Over time, she has grown tremendously in areas requiring patience, clear communication, and empathy. One of April’s favorite moments is being greeted by residents with a smile, which brings her joy each day and reinforces that they feel safe and supported in her presence.
April also takes great pride in offering reassurance—not only to residents but to her coworkers as well—especially when challenges arise. Her presence provides a sense of calm and confidence to those around her. Beyond her daily responsibilities, April has also fostered strong connections within the broader community. She has built stability and consistency not only with clients and coworkers but also with neighbors, often participating in neighborhood activities like parades and themed parties.
