Carecor’s Caregiver Week: October 16-21
By Edison Sandoval, Marketing Coordinator
This Caregiver Week (Oct. 16-21), Carecor proudly celebrates its healthcare providers who tirelessly provide exceptional primary care to vulnerable patients in hospitals and long-term care homes. With over 1700 field staff across Eastern Canada, these providers are the backbone of Carecor’s reputation for excellent client care.
To celebrate our caregivers, each branch has nominated a staff member who exemplifies the principles of caring service, including attitude, consistency, teamwork, and love and compassion. Let us take a moment to honour these dedicated healthcare providers and recognize their invaluable contributions to providing the best possible care to those in need.
Hamilton – Moraine Kyorigaba (Personal Support Worker)
“Moraine Kyorigaba is a PSW supporting our Southwestern/Central Ontario clients since October 2021. She is a very consistent and hard worker who assists medical patients in the hospital either through hands-on care or observational support. She is also someone we can rely on to pick up night shifts! She represents Carecor well, and we in this region are lucky to have a PSW who always puts in the effort to make life a bit easier for patients and staff.”
Toronto – Aurora Martinez (Personal Support Worker)
“Aurora Martinez has been working at Carecor as a PSW since 2020. She is one of our most reliable PSWs, is straightforward to schedule, and never hesitates to say yes to shifts offered. Aurora is a wonderful, reliable, punctual, flexible, and professional team member. She represents Carecor well while on duty, and her colleagues and Carecor’s clients appreciate her efforts to attend work. Aurora is an exceptional worker, and she deserves to be recognized.”
Ottawa – Deqa Abukar (Patient Observer)
“Deqa shows compassion to all the patients she meets and uses her knowledge to deal with difficult situations. She always focuses on her patients and readily assists when asked to help. On every site visit, nurses refer to Deqa as excellent without concerns. She takes her responsibility seriously and has no attendance issues; she frequently calls the staffing coordinators to check-in. She is a valuable member of the Carecor Ottawa team.”
Halifax – Gisele Uwizera (Patient Attendant and Unit Aide)
“Gisele Uwizera is a dedicated and compassionate caregiver working with Carecor. She has provided excellent care to her clients, who have praised her professionalism, kindness, and reliability. She has also been a great team player, always willing to help her colleagues and supervisors whenever needed. She has consistently demonstrated outstanding performance and maintained an exceptional attendance record.
Gisele is passionate about her work and always strives to improve her skills and knowledge. She has completed several training courses offered by Carecor, such as dementia care, infection prevention, and violence prevention. She is always eager to learn from others and seek feedback on enhancing her service quality.
Gisele inspires us all at Carecor and is a role model for the caregiving profession. She embodies our core values of respect, integrity, excellence, and compassion. We are proud to have her as part of our team, and we congratulate her on being the caregiver of the year!”
Our healthcare workers are true heroes who face complex daily challenges with unwavering determination.
