With great pride and admiration, we’re delighted to nominate Maricruz for Above the Best recognition. For the past year, Maricruz has been an invaluable member of the Assisting Hands Home Care family, consistently demonstrating an unwavering commitment to excellence that goes far beyond the call of duty. With an impeccable attendance record—never late, never calling off, and always willing to pick up last-minute shifts—Maricruz has proven herself to be not only reliable but truly indispensable. Averaging 40 hours per week, she brings a level of professionalism and dedication that sets a remarkably high standard for caregiving excellence.
What truly distinguishes Maricruz is her exceptional ability to bring joy, comfort, and dignity to everyone under her care. Every client she assists loves her, and every family she works with eagerly requests her return time and again. Her positive attitude radiates warmth and encouragement, creating an environment where those in need feel genuinely valued and cared for. In fact, her impact is so profound that our office often faces the challenge of finding caregivers for the clients Maricruz has already cared for who can meet the expectations she has set—a testament to the extraordinary quality of care she consistently provides.
Maricruz’s journey to caregiving is as inspiring as her work itself. A former stay-at-home mom, she underwent open heart surgery two years ago, an experience that deeply affected her and motivated a significant lifestyle change. Rather than being deterred by this challenge, Maricruz channeled her experience into a profound desire to help others in need, transforming her personal hardship into a calling to serve. Her story embodies resilience, compassion, and purpose.
At Assisting Hands Libertyville, there’s a running joke during briefing meetings about the team’s shared goal: to hire “at least one more Maricruz.” This lighthearted quip speaks volumes about the remarkable impact she has on both clients and colleagues alike. In every aspect of her work, Maricruz embodies the qualities of an outstanding caregiver, leaving a lasting impression on those she serves and inspiring the entire team. Having her as part of our Assisting Hands Home Care family is something we celebrate daily, and her dedication truly deserves to be commended and praised for the profound difference shes making in the lives of our clients.
