Join us in celebrating our Home Care Employee of the Month, Olga Rokhmanyuk!

Since September 2024, Olga has served with compassion and unwavering dedication. Recently, during the January 25 snow and ice storm in Richmond, she walked 30 minutes through dangerous conditions — twice — to ensure her client received the care she needed.

Her client’s family shared that her gentle, patient,” and respectful manner brings safety and comfort that is “truly priceless.”

At JFS Richmond, we are proud to recognize Olga’s reliability, selflessness and heart for service. She is a true blessing to the families we serve.

Congratulations, Olga, and thank you for going the extra mile!
