Caregiver of the Month

Congratulations to our latest Caregiver of the Month, Lucy C.!
We’re thrilled to recognize Lucy C. as our Caregiver of the Month! Lucy brings a thoughtful, attentive presence to her work and has quickly become a valued member of the COHC family. Lucy says one of the things she enjoys most about working for COHC is how friendly and caring the office team is, and that same warmth shines through in the care she provides. She consistently goes above and beyond to make our clients feel seen and supported. A great example of this is how she takes the time to ask her client’s family members what they would like for breakfast and lunch when they visit, making sure every detail is handled with kindness and care.

Outside of work, Lucy enjoys reading and gardening, hobbies that reflect her calm, nurturing nature. Her reliability, compassion, and attention to detail make a meaningful difference in the lives of those she serves.

Congratulations, Lucy! Thank you for your dedication and for the heart you bring to caregiving.

Recipe of the Month: Pumpkin Bread

This pumpkin bread recipe is super moist, warmly spiced, and filled with delicious pumpkin flavor. It’s one of my favorite fall recipes, and I make at least one loaf every year. On a crisp fall day, you can’t beat the smell of homemade pumpkin bread baking in the oven!
