 I called the other day to check on My stepdad in the rehab unit at United helpers in Ogdensburg and he told me about a nurse named Brooke that took him on a walk in the middle of the night. Because he was sick of sitting down and he said he talked to her about his entire life. He talked about her for over an hour on the phone and started to cry because she took the time to care for him with compassion and love. I don't know who Brooke is but THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for being so thoughtful and caring with my Dad. You were his family the other night when he needed it most. Hope this gets her the appreciation she deserves. - Anonymous 4/10/2020

I wanna give a shout out to United Helpers where I was an employee for 17 years. We are all washing our hands more than we ever have and I am using the skills I learned in the 17 mandates that I attended. The staff development department taught us how to properly wash our hands and how to remove soiled gloves! I’m not a direct care provider at this time but my current job has me wearing gloves every day and I’m so happy to have the skills I do!- Vicki 4/1/2020
