Supervisor Julie Rueca sends a shout out to Home Health Aide team member Bintou Traore (pictured) for providing such wonderful care to her clients. One client wrote: “Bintou helped me to get back on my feet by encouraging me to get out of bed, walk more, to eat, bathe, and to engage with my neighbors. I participate more often in the community meetings and other activities that my residential case managers provide – all thanks to Bintou. Over the past 4 years she’s brought me back to life.” Thank you, Bintou, for the compassion and encouragement you provide to your clients!
