Hello December… We are working our way into another month, and it’s time for another staff spotlight! As always, I have been getting great feedback about many of our Delta staff. However, I want to take a moment and recognize one person in particular: Lilly Fernandez. Since June of 2003, Lilly has worked for WAPADH’s Delta Day Program and Supported Living Services. Here is what her supervisor, Charles Hogue, has to say about her:
“Lilly Fernandez has done an excellent job as a Vocational Training Counselor for Delta Services WAPADH. She is an engaged staff that understands and cares that her work directly affects our consumers tremendously. She has provided our clients with excellent support and can always be counted on to think outside of the box and anticipate what needs to be done next. Lilly is a model employee who always maintains a positive and professional attitude. Lilly has done an excellent job collaborating closely with families, group homes and her supervisor in order to ensure her consumers are receiving the best services possible. Recently, Lilly has taken on challenges and obstacles that most community advocates may never experience. Her initiative, ability to do more than what is expected from her and her attention to detail has been very key in assisting one of her clients overcome a major obstacle in his life. She has taken on a schedule that requires a lot hard work and patience and not only has she accepted it, she cherishes it.”
Much appreciation has been expressed by the consumers and families that Lilly supports. And we want to show our appreciation as well! Lilly says, “It’s been a good positive experience working for WAPADH, consumers and staff. Thank you for all of the support.” Thanks for everything Lilly- keep up the exceptional work!
Ed & Lilly
Great job Lilly, WAPADH is blessed to have wonderful person like you working with our consumers!
I want to add to the complements Brady made about Lilly. She is one of Melanie’s care givers and everyone knows that means taking on a lot of “extra stuff”. Melanie actually chose Lilly. One day she saw Lilly at the swimming pool, with another client. Melanie went over and took her by the hand to bring her to where she was. She wanted Lilly to be on her staff. We both feel sooo lucky that Lilly agreed because Lilly doesn’t just do her job, she determines where Melanie is on a given day and then creates their time together based on that. I trust Lilly for her care and her wisdom as if she were a member of my family. Lilly’s whole family knows Melanie and best of all accepts Melanie for who she is as though she were a family member too. Thank you Lilly for hanging in there and being Melanie’s friend as well as a member of her staff. Melanie’s mom Sarah
Awesome job lily…..keep up the good work….
