CARE PARTNER OF THE MONTH – October 2022: Christine Hellmann
Why did you choose to work at Touching Hearts at Home?
I worked in a hospital setting a long time ago and I missed working with people.
What is a typical day at work like for you?
A typical day doesn’t seem like work. I go to my clients and visit with them, see what they would like to do and what they need done for the day.
What is your favorite memory from working as a caregiver?
A client had severe dementia who loved picking fruit with her siblings as a child. I took her to a farm to pick fruit. It sounds small but she couldn’t contain her excitement.
What do you like the most about care giving at Touching Hearts?
Meeting different people and knowing that you are making a difference in the quality of someone’s life.
What is your dream trip or vacation? I love Pacific Grove California; I would go there all the time if I could.
What’s a fun fact about you many people may not know about you? I was in the military and stationed in California, lived there for 15 years before I moved back to New York.
