Attention Plus Care Pays Tribute to Caregiver of the Year!

Honolulu (November 1, 2013) -- November is National Home Care & Hospice Month, and Attention Plus Care will pay tribute to the caregivers company-wide for the profound difference they make in their clients' lives. Additionally, the company will recognize Mr. Narciso Cardenas (a.k.a., Narcy), Home Health Aide of Attention Plus Care with the Caregiver of the Year award. Cardenas was selected because of his exceptional work performance and extraordinary client care.

"Narcy is compassionate, patient, and kind" said Andrea McIntosh, BS, Staffing and Development Manager of Attention Plus Care. "As a caregiver, he looks beyond the challenges of care, and instead shares the moments of joy and empathy. Due to his work ethics and character, Attention Plus Care is proud to award Narcy as the Caregiver of the Year, to serve as an inspiration to all caregivers on how they make a difference in the lives of others."

Home Health Aides play an important role in assisting their clients to maintain their activities of daily living; such as personal care, meals, running errands, going to the doctor's office, or assisting them with medical conditions. As well as, companionship and emotional support.

"During the time Narcy cared for my husband, he went well beyond the requirements of the job," said Patricia Curtis, former client. "He got to know my husband as a person and showed a true interest in his life history and his family. He took the time to learn of my husband's interests in reading the newspaper and watching baseball and cowboy movies on television, and made sure my husband got to enjoy television and the newspaper as part of his daily routine.

"Narcy always was extremely respectful in his treatment of my husband. They communicated well together which was not an easy task, since my husband suffered from Alzheimer's disease. When my husband became agitated due to the effects of the disease, Narcy always treated him with patience and understanding, and calmed him down with gentle movements and words. Narcy would hold his hand, talk with Howard and keep him comfortable as his final days drew near. My family and I felt that we were all blessed to have Narcy as our caregiver."

Prior to entering his career as a caregiver, Narcy received a Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and worked in job roles such as, Lead Senior Computer Operator, and Financial Representative. Cardenas became a Certified Nursing Assistant in 2008, and has over six years of caregiving experience. "Helping people is the most rewarding job I've ever had," said Cardenas. "To see my clients' smile or their body language responding to my care, I get a feeling of how grateful they are."
