Tonight, we needed an employee to go to a new client's home. The caregiver had never been there before and, even though it was less than 4 miles from her home, she did not know how to get there and did not think that she would be able to find the home after dark. Of course, I said I would get her there. So, I attended my daughter's high school varsity volleyball game for about 23 minutes and then left to get our caregiver to our client's home.
I went to the caregiver's home and had her follow me to the client's home. Because of the way we arrived and the position of the house, I drove past the client's home, went to the corner and made a u-turn, drove about 200 yards and then parked in front of the house. Up to the time of the u-turn, my employee was right behind me, she saw me make the u-turn.
Well, I stood next to my car waiting for my employee to park behind me. After about 5 minutes, I drove back to the spot I made the u-turn and found my employee, on the phone crying to my scheduling coordinator about me leaving her in the middle of the street.
Needless to say, I couldn't understand all of this; how could she loose me so easily? Oh well, all is well, the caregiver is at our client's home and I'm home now.

Comfort Keepers Staff Meetings
We have regularly scheduled Staff Meetings with all of our Comfort Keepers. Our third quarter meeting was sheduled for last night, Thurs 8/21 but Tropical Storm Fay had other ideas...the weather was horrible so we postponed the meeting. Our speaker was scheduled to be a great friend of mine, Jayne Haftmann, RN. She is a Vitas Innovative Hospice representative and her topic is Taking Care of Me - Managing Stress While Providing Quality Care. It will be a great program for our great Comfort Keepers when we get to reschedule it.
