September 2020 Champion of the Month, Joanita K.
Joanita has been a Certified home Health Aide (HHA) with RAH Boston Metrowest for one year!
“My inspiration to be a caregiver comes from my love for people, my children, and my previous work experience. I was a customer care advisor in my country and for the longest time, I solved people's queries and complaints over the phone, and I dealt with all sorts of customers - irate, happy and disappointed etc. Secondly I am a mother and the way I love and care for my kids is the same way I love to care for my clients. What’s better than helping people live their lives the best possible way?”
Joanita personally likes working for RAH because of the security, consistency, and support. “I haven't been out of work from the day that I started, and I have been paid every single week. Also my bosses have been very understanding. I have talked the office employees and they are all very respectful, they treat me with dignity and are very appreciative of my services.”
Joanita is appreciated by her clients and their loved ones, for example a client’s wife said that Joanita makes him “so happy, he sees the tenderness in her eyes and knows she truly cares for him.”
To be a great caregiver, Joanita advises others to build rapport with their clients from the first shift, don’t take anything personally, and treat clients like family… “with love, compassion, empathy, respect, and dignity”. “To get through bad days, I remind myself that clients don’t actually mean to be difficult, it is just the circumstances they are in. I like to take a moment to breathe in and out slowly if I feel overwhelmed, it really helps!”

Her experience caring for her grandmother is the reason she now takes care of others as if they are family, and the reason she decided to pursue caregiving professionally. “As an African born woman, I grew up doing this type of work as it is the women’s role in the family. Caregiving is a part of me and I have a passion for working to improve the lives of others. Back in Uganda my first professional job was at a home based care program where I cared for people with HIV and a variety of other needs.” Jacinta continues to make a positive impact on people’s lives each day, and is appreciated by the office staff, fellow caregivers, clients, and their loved ones.

2019 Caregiver of the Year, Donna J.
It is with great appreciation and excitement that we recognize Donna J. as our 2019 Caregiver of the year! Donna has been with Right at Home since March, 2019 and was our November, 2019 Caregiver of the month. Since Donna joined our team she has epitomized hard work and genuine caring.
Donna came to the U.S about 25 years ago to accompany and support her children in pursuing their dreams of attending college. Before coming to the U.S. Donna positively impacted the lives of many people in her home country of Trinidad. She created a breakfast program for underprivileged children where she provided them breakfast each morning and made sure they were prepared for school. If a child showed up to her program with torn/improper clothing or sneakers, Donna would change that. “I would tell them ‘Tomorrow morning, you’re not going to school in that’ and then I would make sure they got a pair of sneakers or clothing for the next day. And they always remember these things”. Helping others has been Donna’s mission from the beginning, and she continues to successfully do so each day.
Donna pays attention to detail and accommodates each client based on their preferences and needs. “You have to have love and be very patient…If you don’t like what you’re doing then it won’t work” said Donna. Donna has been an incredible team member, she takes on challenging cases without a second thought, and has provided long term and short term care for various clients. “I like things that challenge me” said Donna. She demonstrates great skill and compassion when helping and redirecting clients who are resistant to care.
Since the day Donna started, we have consistently received countless calls from clients, loved ones, and others involved in care to express their praise and appreciation for her. For example:
“I can’t say enough good about Donna. She is a remarkable woman, she is thorough, and knows just what to do”-loved one of former client.
“Donna has a wonderful sense of humor, genuinely cares about the client, and works well with him. She is always so capable and helpful” –loved one of client.
“She is amazing and such a sweetheart”- loved one of former client.
Donna works very hard and enjoys keeping busy. Although limited, her free time is spent with her beloved grandchildren who motivate her to wake up each morning and be the best she can be.
We are proud and thankful to have such a remarkable woman and caregiver who continues to surprise us with her excellence and we are equally pleased to recognize her as our 2019, Caregiver of the Year!

Once you listen you develop an understanding and can then figure out a way to approach and handle that person. Listening leads to understanding, understanding leads to compassion, and having compassion makes it easy to be patient and this will leave you and the client smiling.” Her favorite hobby is reading and her favorite book is the Bible.
