He has taken on clients needing immediate care with virtually no notice, he has taken clients that are out of his area, he has been willing to take overnight clients when no other caregiver was available, and he has advocated for a client until he knew the issue would be getting a resolution.
We have been told by client's that he is great to get along with and is very funny. A particular comment, "He has Robin Williams kinda vibes".

What could be more difficult than simply growing old?
Growing old without family nearby.
In this episode of the ComForConnections Podcast, Gurney of the Positive Aging Sourcebook shares how caregivers and professionals can support solo agers with empathy, advance planning, and meaningful connection.
While many older adults believe falls are a normal part of aging, the truth is, falls are in large part preventable. This Fall Prevention Awareness Week, we're focused on encouraging action.

“If their heart is in the right place, you know they’re going to do a good job.”
“What am I going to do when I grow up?”
I had this thought driving home from the job I had for over 23 years as a software developer. I was facing an impending layoff, the second in three years, and I knew I wanted something bigger for my life. It was important to me to find something fulfilling where I was able to help others in a meaningful way.
When I was growing up in rural Oregon, my mother routinely volunteered with aging adults in the community. Because of this, a passion for service was instilled in me at a young age. As she grew older, I was frustrated with the lack of options and resources available to her. When I opened this location, I wanted to keep others from feeling the frustrations I had. My team and I are empathetic to everyone we come in contact with because we’ve been where you are. We understand the challenges that come along with aging, and we have dedicated ourselves to becoming resources for our community.
We had a client who had passed away while the family and caregiver were at the home. After the client’s body was taken to the funeral home, the family left to visit another family member. Once they were gone, the caregiver stripped the hospital bed the client had passed in. They washed all of the linens and folded them. They collapsed the hospital bed and put it on the porch for hospice to pick up. All of this was done without a second thought, without obligation and without pay. It was out of the caregiver’s own volition and compassion.
The family was so overwhelmed with this kindness, they called to thank me and asked about giving the caregiver a bonus. The caregiver had never even mentioned it to me. The caregiver didn’t want recognition or praise for stepping up, they just knew it was important to the family. Those are the people we routinely bring into our ComForCare family.
