ResCare Community Living Direct Support Professional Lakiesha Brown has been Working Smart and Doing Good in St. Paul, MN.
Lakiesha demonstrates consistent person-centered support with her individuals. During doctors’ appointments and meetings, she is patient and clear, ensuring the client understands the situation and can make their own choices about next moves or medical procedures. Lakiesha then goes a step further by following up to confirm that the individual’s decision is respected and carried out.
Lakiesha is involved in every step of any medical processes her individuals undergo. After one client completed a long period of healing following a surgery, they wanted to start swimming again. Understanding the importance of this activity to the client, Lakiesha offered to take them to the pool herself, further aiding in the client’s successful recovery.
Thank you, Lakiesha, for fostering a people-focused Environment in your operation. Your ability to support each client at the individual level bolsters strong relationships and allows you to provide a high quality of care.
