Larson Manifold, Head of Firefly Home Care and Firefly Home Health, discusses the need for nurses and caregivers in our community and what it's like to work at Firefly.
Each month, Firefly Home Care recognizes one of our caregivers who went above and beyond to provide excellent service to our clients. The July 2021 Lifesaver award goes to Angela. We'd like to thank Angela and all of our wonderful caregivers for everything they're doing to help our clients. Please enjoy some pictures of Angela with her client, Agnes.
“When the client is happy, it’s the most satisfying part of being a caregiver.”
