Household appliances are easy to take for granted until something goes wrong. For Zetta, a broken refrigerator had a big impact on her quality of life. Due to her limited income, getting a replacement seemed out of reach, but thanks to a generous gift to Care Resources, it became a reality.

With her new fridge, Zetta can continue living independently in the home she loves. You can help us purchase bigger household items for more participants in need with a tax-deductible donation at CareResources.org/donate.

This just in… our December RISE Above Award recipient is Medical Assistant Julie DeKam! 🎉 Here's what the “Recognize, Inspire, Shine, Exceed the Limits” Committee shared:

Julie consistently demonstrates exceptional dedication to participant care. She is recognized for her welcoming demeanor, making every participant feel valued both within the clinic and throughout Care Resources PACE as a whole. In fact, her desk was strategically relocated closer to the entrance so that she could personally greet participants, reflecting the positive impact she has on their experience.

Julie’s commitment to service is further highlighted by her actions in supporting participants’ dignity and well-being. She was nominated twice for going above and beyond, including an instance where she assisted a participant with activities of daily living (ADLs) in one of the clinic bathrooms, ensuring the individual felt respected and cared for.

In March last year, Julie arrived at work to discover flooding in an area of the day center. Without hesitation, she immediately obtained a mop and began cleaning, taking initiative to address the situation and providing ongoing assistance throughout what became an extensive cleanup due to a plumbing issue.

Julie’s proactive approach and willingness to do what was needed exemplify her professionalism and commitment to the Care Resources community. Thanks for all you do, Julie!

Despite the fact PACE has been around for more than 50 years, this nationwide model of care funded by Medicare and Medicaid remains, unfortunately, a well-kept secret.

We believe that needs to change so eligible older adults in West Michigan can take advantage of the all-inclusive services available to help them age with dignity and where we all want to be – in our own homes.

Community Outreach/Marketing Supervisor Veronica Horsley-Pettigrew was recently on WYCE's Community Closeup program to speak on this and more.
