ComForCare of Hendersonville, TN Employee Recognized as 2019 Caregiver of the Year

DETROIT, December 18, 2019 -- ComForCare Home Care, a franchised provider of in-home caregiving services, announced their Caregiver of the Year at the company's national conference. Beth Trivett, a ComForCare caregiver in Hendersonville, TN,  was awarded the 2019 Caregiver of the Year from over 125 nominations. 

"Beth represents the gold standard of our ComForCare values," said Mike Sluder, franchise owner of ComForCare in Hendersonville — a suburb of Nashville. "She is attentive, caring, efficient and confident in her abilities, which all make her a superior caregiver. The families she cares for trust her unconditionally. There is no value you can put on her heart and compassion for others."

Through this award, Beth was recognized for her years of extraordinary commitment, hard work and dedication. She consistently goes above and beyond for her clients, while also juggling caring for her own family at home. She is particularly sensitive to caring for clients at the end of their life and supporting the family during that difficult time.

"Caregivers are the heart of the ComForCare franchise system across the U.S. and Canada," said Mark Armstrong, founder and president of ComForCare and At Your Side Franchise Systems. "And it's stories like this one that remind us why caregivers are so important. We are honored to have Beth as a part of our ComForCare team and recognize the impact she has had on so many lives."

The Cost of Keeping Caregivers and their Clients Safe During a Pandemic

According to the CDC, the risk for severe illness from COVID-19 among adults increases with age, with older adults at highest risk. That makes the health and safety of the caregivers who look after them all the more important. And it is the responsibility of those employing the caregivers to ensure they have the resources to do their job safely.
