The Circle of Care support group has helped me to have a greater understanding of what it means to be a caregiver. We come in different shapes and sizes. We all have a different story to tell and a need to be heard by our fellow sufferers. From sharing and caring I have been able to find my calling in becoming a life, motivational, and inspirational coach. I hope to be able to help others and assist them in their journey through this thing we call life.
Margherita G., kinship caregiver for her grandson Orlando, met with Youth & Young Adult Services staff to discuss his grades and see if there was any way to better his marks. After two months of tutoring Orlando began to make improvements in school. Ms. G. says, “It was stressful knowing that Orlando’s promotion was in doubt. With the tutoring he was given, I can happily say that he is doing better in school now. The teachers have noticed him making progress in areas he struggled with before, and he passed both state tests. He has been excited to go to the tutoring program and get his homework done. I feel comfortable sending him to your program knowing the emphasis you put on education.” Ms. G. says Orlando’s teacher notified her of his improvements at school. “I feel like Orlando is changing positively including his other activities at home. I hope he keeps it up. Thank you for so much.”
When you attend a stress reduction workshop with some apprehension caused by anxiety and leave feeling refreshed and with a smile on your face, we call that a successful workshop. We found new coping mechanisms for stress that pointed us in a positive direction for our lives. The stress reduction workshop is yet another example of how Coming of Age NYC and PSS Circle of Care provide a variety of useful information free of charge to anyone that could benefit, and their mission to do this is commendable. Thank you.
One of the challenges I encounter as a nurse working at the NORC (Naturally Occurring Retirement Community) is to provide home care services to clients. Caregivers were so exhausted as they tried to keep on with their lives while supporting their loved one and trying to keep them safe in the community. I cannot thank PSS Circle of Care enough for your support to our NORC clients and their caregivers.
I want to thank PSS Circle of Care Consultant Chidi Chizor for always going above and beyond and such a big help when it comes to care of my elderly father who suffers with dementia.
I hope I can fully express my gratitude to Care Consultant Naa Dei Nikoi Amasa for the time she gave me. Heartfelt thanks for enriching my life by bringing the home health care aide into it.
It was a struggle, but with PSS Circle of Care’s help and God’s help my mother and I were able to get here today. I really appreciate everything you did to help us. The support alone was so helpful. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.
Thank you to PSS Circle of Care for providing excellent care for my mom. I really appreciate your caring attitude that was extended to my mom, and for that I will always be grateful.
I would like to thank the people from PSS Circle of Care for all they have done to help me with the care of my husband Frank. They are always there for me to vent my frustrations. They have helped me obtain a camera so that I can see what’s happening when I cannot be around. Additionally, my care Consultant assisted me in obtaining a safety return bracelet because he has become a wanderer. Most of all I appreciate the dedication and support I’ve received with learning about my options for our long-term care plan.
