The Way We Lead / May 6, 2025
Throughout May we recognize Nurses Month, and today, May 6, we celebrate National Nurses Day. ResCare Community Living LPN/LPT/LVN Leroy Allen has been Working Smart and Doing Good in Mandeville, LA.
Leroy demonstrates innovation in how he addresses the needs of his clients. He ensured one taller individual received an extra-large bed and mattress along with a padded headboard to prevent him from hitting his head in the night. Previously, the client would get headaches from this and as he is nonverbal, he had difficulty expressing the pain it caused.
Leroy is team player, assisting other staff members as needed in various homes and taking clients to their doctors’ appointments. He assists with medical concerns and makes sure documentation is completed and thorough while communicating with family members to keep them informed. The families all trust that Leroy is committed to helping their loved ones achieve their goals.
Recently, Leroy optimized quality of care by taking a deep dive into every medication for each client. He used his medical knowledge and connection with the individuals to determine which medicines could potentially be discontinued, pending conversations with their primary care providers.
Leroy, you maintain a people-focused Environment in your operation and facilitate relationships between the clients, staff, medical teams, and community at large. Thank you for your work as a collaborator and advocate helping those you support live their best lives.
WORK SMART. DO GOOD.
