Bonnie Otchere Kwenah is Avila’s Caregiver of the Month for September, 2024!
Congratulations to Avila’s Caregiver of the Month for September 2024- Bonnie Otchere Kwenah! Bonnie has served Avila’s clients for 6 years, providing exceptional care with wonderful kindness. Read what our clients’ daughter had to say about Bonnie who cared for her parents for 3 1/2 years- “I had the blessing of having my parents live with me in an in-law suite for the past 17 years, which also allowed them to pass peacefully at home, surrounded by so much love. Because of our unique arrangement, we were able to cultivate some very special relationships with our Avila Caregivers. With the passing of my Dad two years ago and the recent loss of my Mom, we are grieving the absence of them, but also deeply missing the relationships and daily routine that we established with our village of care provided through Avila. We had so many wonderful Caregivers, but I specifically want to thank Bonnie who became family in the process. Her dedication, caring nature, generosity, respect, and professionalism offered a peace that allowed me the freedom I needed, while fully trusting that my parents were safe, well-cared for, and loved. Bonnie went above and beyond to help us, and she was such a blessing. In return, I can only hope that she felt, and continues to feel, deeply cherished and valued by myself and the rest of my family. We love and adore her.” We are honored to have you on Avila’s team, Bonnie- thank you for your extraordinary service to Avila’s clients and their families.
