Congratulations to Lina, who is last week's Caregiver Spotlight of the Week! Lina is new to the Right at Home team, having been hired earlier this year. Since becoming a part of our team, Lina has shown an incredible sense of patience, creative thinking, and overall compassion for her clients. When faced with difficult situations, Lina does not get discouraged, instead she works in creative ways to make the best of it. Lina likes helping others, often making sure the needs of... others are put before her own. When she is not working with her client's through Right at Home, Lina also works at a security company. Her security job is another way for her to help out her community. In her free time Lina enjoys hunting and fishing. She also loves cars! Whenever she can, she tries to work on her 1988 Camaro iroc. Thank you Lina for all of your hard work! We are so happy to have you a part of our team!! See more
