I feel compelled to nominate Monica Klimek as “Employee of the Month”. She is the epitome of the proverbial “Girl Friday”. She takes on responsibilities from all departments of our busy office. As receptionist she is the first one to come in contact with all who call or come into our office. As she receives calls, she identifies the client’s needs and will try to address the issues and try to handle and resolve them rather than pass them on. Monica has made it her business to learn many different aspects of what it takes to make our office run smoothly. She has learned to compile information from different sources to complete surveys and reports. Monica is proactive, professional and always has a smile on her face.

June is one of our Occupational Therapist and has been with Addus/A Full Life since March 2007. She is a dedicated, reliable and flexible and will cover any other OT if they are on vacation. She will travel over 100 miles each way to provide treatment to our clients. We thank you June for a job well done and being a part of the Addus family.

Terri was a new employee who was assigned a very challenging client. The client was bed-ridden, and whose life circumstances changed over the past few years from being very affluent financially to now finding it necessary to rely on public assistance programs. Terri provides services to this client 5 times a week, twice a day. She has helped to improve the client’s quality of life by helping the client live on a budget and within her means, keeping her home clean and helping her client cope with life’s changing situations. Terri is a valued employee to the Quincy office, as well as to her clients.

A letter received from a client sums up why Kim should be the “Employee of the Month”. Quote – “I would like to take this opportunity to let you know how very pleased I am to have Kim as my caregiver. She is one of the best workers that I have had and I wanted to assure that she received the recognition that she deserves. She is not only caring and understanding of my situation, but has provided the efficient and wonderful care and cleanliness of my apartment. She sees what needs to be done and does it without hesitation. I have had previous caregivers that don’t come anywhere near the quality and expertise of Kim. I would appreciate it very much if Kim could receive recognition for her dedication and hard work. Thanks for all your help.” Sincerely, John P.M. – Unquote.
