Celebrating Our Everyday Heroes: Caregiver Appreciation Lunch!

Yesterday’s lunch wasn’t just about food, it was about honoring the heart and soul behind what makes our service exceptional: our caregivers.

We hosted a special Caregiver Appreciation Lunch to recognize the hard work, compassion, and patience our team brings every single day. The goal? Simple: say THANK YOU, not just in words, but in time, laughter, and appreciation.

A huge shoutout to:
• Freddie Cueto – who reminds us that caregiving is both a way to help others and a way to grow personally.
• Arlene Gabrido – whose dedication to providing physical, emotional, and medical support is truly inspiring.
• Violeta Lim – a proud member of the Alternative Home Care family since 2002! Her wisdom and insight into dementia care show the heart it takes to be truly great at this job.
• Jesse – whose passion for helping others shines through in every word (and we respect your privacy. No photos, just love!).

Also sending love and gratitude to Marilou Adraneda, Ofelia Terrado, and Rhoda Literato, who couldn’t make it to the luncheon but are absolutely essential to our team. Your commitment and consistency never go unnoticed. Whether in the home or behind the scenes, you each bring something irreplaceable to our mission.

As Violeta graciously shared:
“Being a caregiver is not always easy, especially when our clients have dementia. But with patience, understanding, and common sense, we can do our jobs in the right and safe way.”

Because at the end of the day, caregivers don’t just support daily tasks, they support daily dignity.

Thank you to our incredible team for doing the work that truly matters. You are not just employees, you’re the heartbeat of home care.

🌟 Team Appreciation Post!🌟

This year, we made a big decision: to focus even more on what makes Alternative truly special, our community. That means our clients, their families, our staff, and everyone who makes this mission possible.

With all the buzz around tech and A.I., we’re staying grounded in what we believe matters most: genuine human connection. Our company was built on authenticity, compassion, and purpose and that’s not changing. Real conversations and meaningful relationships will always come first for us. ❤️

To celebrate that spirit, we’re revamping our Caregiver Recognition Program because our care team is the heart of it all. 🫶

Starting now, we’ll be recognizing and celebrating some of our amazing caregivers quarterly! First up:
👏🏼 Veronica
👏🏼 Elenita
👏🏼 Sally
👏🏼 Ken
👏🏼 Leah

These caregivers have been with us for years, showing up with reliability, heart, and dedication. Families rave about them and we couldn’t be more grateful.

And yes... we kicked things off with Happy Lamb for lunch. Because why not? 😉🍽️

To our team: we see your love and commitment to our elder community, and we thank you over and over again. 💐
