The Way We Lead / July 10, 2025
ResCare Community Living Direct Support Professional David Haynes has been Working Smart and Doing Good in Princeton, WV.
A client with severe anxiety had the opportunity to move into his own home, so David took on the task to slowly acclimate the client to the new environment. He helped them move one object at a time to the new location, and each time they went, they increased the time they spent there. Over the course of two months, David transitioned the client into an independent living situation with minimal trauma.
This individual also struggled while traveling in cars, and his mom was not able to take him anywhere. David again worked slowly, taking him on short drives to the end of the road and then increasing the distance gradually. The client would have difficult moments in the car when they had to stop at red lights, so David would plan their routes to avoid as many stops and red lights as possible.
Thank you, David. You Get Going and know your business, understanding what will best help your clients reach their goals. Your meticulous and person-centered approach allows the clients you support to overcome obstacles and live their best lives.
WORK SMART. DO GOOD.
