Universal Worker Ron "RJ" Eubanks is our June RISE recipient!

Here’s what our “Recognize, Inspire, Shine, Exceed the Limits” Committee had to say about Ron:

Ron is the ultimate team player and understands we all have the same goal. He is always stepping into any role to ensure participants are taken care of. He is a universal worker, but he does not need to be asked to assist. He always makes himself available to participants as well as staff.

His attitude is, “whatever I can do to help, I will.” He is often there and available before we even have the chance to ask him. He jumps around to each department and sees where he can be the most helpful, especially in the kitchen and in the day rooms. He helps with daily meal prep and with serving meals in the day center. Additionally, he brings participants home in the van, one of them every Thursday afternoon. He also assists daily with unloading and reloading the buses. He even covers the front desk while the receptionist is at lunch.

It’s not just all the extras RJ does, it’s his supportive and positive attitude he brings to work every day. RJ, you’re a shining example of why Care Resources is so special. You’re a hardworking, flexible professional who really cares about our participants and is happy to help out with whatever the need may be. Thank you and congratulations! 🎉🎉
