🌟🌟🌟CAREGIVERS OF THE MONTH🌟🌟🌟

This month UCC is honoring TWO very special caregivers. These two girls have worked as a team all spring/summer/and fall. We have a client we were servicing from rehab local in Saratoga. She is originally from Maine and wanted nothing more than to spend the summer and fall in her own home in Maine. She was unable to locate 24/7 services there. So these two lovely ladies and UCC worked to get her home. They both dedicated 2 weeks (rotating between the two of them) to do a live in position all the way in Maine ! They are both currently still there and are scheduled to come home in December. There is nothing more compassionate then giving up your own home and family to service the wishes of a client we all immensely care about. Let’s give these two ladies a big round of applause!

Meet Stephanie Olivencia and Destiny Colon.
Here is a snippet about themselves !

“Hello my name is Stephanie I’ve been in the nursing field for 23 years now I enjoy what I do, taking care of the elderly nurturing for them being able to assist them with activities of daily living. I have been working for UCC 4yrs now I am very proud to be part of the team 💗” -Stephanie Olivencia

“So grateful to be chosen as Caregiver of the Month! Being with Upstate Care Coordination for over a year now,It means a lot to be recognized for doing what I love and being able to give my all. Big thanks to the whole team and the wonderful people I care for! “ -Destiny Colon

These girls are what makes UCC so very special. While it’s impossible to get them all in the same room at the same time , I cherish each and everyone of them present or not. Big round of applause for these incredible women !!
