Donald Ely is Avila’s Caregiver of the Month for February, 2025!
Avila Home Care is honored to recognize Donald Ely as February 2025 Caregiver of the Month for his outstanding care and dedication! A recent client praised Donald’s patience, kindness, and excellent communication. “I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my father’s caregiver, Donald Ely. For the past four months he has shown such patience and kindness in caring for my father, who has experienced cognitive decline. Donald went above and beyond to ensure that my father was comfortable and safe. While spending time with my father, Donald maintained excellent communication with me, whether it was providing me updates on my father’s PT and speech therapy sessions, or letting me know about how his appetite had been that day. I had complete peace of mind whenever my father was in Donald’s attentive and thoughtful care. I would ask that Avila please recognize Donald as Caregiver of the Month.” Congratulations, Donald- we are privileged to have you on Avila’s Caregiving Team! And we are delighted that we got to take this photo of Donald and Avila’s CEO Will Cox when he came into Avila’s office to receive his award.
