Caregivers are all around us. They are part of our everyday activities. But just because they are there doesn’t mean they are all great caregivers. What separates your average caregiver from the great caregivers are some traits and work habits that stand out above the norm. Those who have experienced a great caregiver can easily make a list of what makes them exceptional and sets them apart from the crowd. At Dobson Healthcare we work hard to hire only the best caregivers available. Our Human Resource Department and Care Team Coordinators work hard to hire those who display the characteristics that make great caregivers:
- Empathy and compassion. Dobson Healthcare caregivers work with people in their homes, therefore it is essential that our caregivers feel a strong desire to want to help. By showing empathy and compassion Dobson caregivers will let the person they are caring for know that they care about the person and want to do what they can to help them.
- Patience. When Dobson Healthcare caregivers work with someone who needs home care it is important that they are patient and understanding.
- Reliable. Dobson caregivers are great caregivers that can be counted on to be there. If a Dobson caregiver is scheduled to be at a clients home to provide home care every Thursday morning, our caregivers shows up, unless there is an emergency. Those needing home care services need a reliable and dependable caregivers and Dobson prides our self in having caregivers who are!
- Flexible. As with most things in life, home care needs may change and unexpected events can happen. A Dobson caregiver will be prepared to go with the flow, being flexible, so that they can continue to provide good home care, even if a rigid schedule isn’t being followed.
We will again be an exhibitor at the Ogemaw Community Business Expo this coming April 5th. The event runs from 4p-8p at Ogemaw Heights High School. We loved the event last year and were overwhelmed by the turnout from the Ogemaw community; what a wonderful community for us to live and work in! The rest of the business community we work with in this region is phenomenal and we can’t wait to see you all soon!

This year Dobson Healthcare was again one of the sponsors for the Tolfree Foundation’s Blast the Blues. All proceeds for the event went to benefit the West Branch Regional Medical Center’s campaign to purchase a Digital Mammography System.
This years event raised $14,253 and had over 240 attendees! With the very last item auctioned off, the foundation was able to reach their lofty goal and will now be able to purchase the system for the medical center. Thank You to everyone who attended the event, volunteered at it, supplied an auction item, or simply spread the word about it to your friends.
