Caregiver

As Executive Director of Talent Acquisition, I often talk with new hires and speak at Country Meadows manager orientations. In every situation, I refer to three qualities again and again: heart, care and compassion. Those words embody the Country Meadows culture, and each co-worker in our top-rated senior living communities strive to live up to our mission.

There is no denying it … caregiving is downright hard. It is the kind of hard that you don’t really know until you are in the thick of it. Caregiving can feel isolating despite the fact you are at appointments or on the phone and with your loved one around the clock. The endless to-do lists, full calendars and heightened attention to the needs of the loved one leaves you drained. This can be a fulfilling role but also often overlooked because life is moving at a fast pace. Caregivers often get lost in the shuffle.
