Terry Lynn G. has been with VON since April 2019. She is a program coordinator with Meals on Wheels in North Bay.
Since COVID began, we've been fortunate to be able to provide some extra assistance to seniors in our community. It’s been amazing to see those who we’ve been able to help by making their lives just a little bit easier.
Erin C. is an LPN with VON in the greater Halifax area.
I love the independence VON gives me, and the opportunity to tailor clients’ plans to best suit their lifestyle. The most rewarding part is watching clients thrive and developing that trusting relationship to get them where they need to be.
Karen B. is a PSW with VON in Sarnia. She has been with VON since 2007.
I chose a career as a PSW because my grandma was in a nursing home and I would go there and do her hair and paint her nails every Sunday. Before I knew it, there were other ladies lined up asking to have the hair brushed and nails painted, too! It made me feel so good knowing I made a difference for those ladies. So, I decided after I graduated to apply to VON. I love working here! I get to spend quality time with the clients, one-on-one. And they're so happy being in their own homes.
I chose to become a PSW after I lost my dad to cancer. He lived nine hours away and I wasn't able to make it to him in time, so he passed away alone. I decided then that I wanted to be there for as many people as I could. Family isn't always able to be there and I didn't want anyone to be alone at the end of life.
Melissa C. is a PSW who was worked at VON in Belleville, Ontario since 2012.
I worked in a retirement home. I thought I loved my job, but as time went on I knew that there had to be something out there that satisfied me more, that would help me feel like my career had purpose. I decided to apply to VON, not realizing this was going to be the best decision of my life.
Jennifer P. is a PSW who joined VON's Assisted Living program in Kingston, Ontario in 2019.
Being a community nurse is awesome. I feel so close to the community and the people, who share their life experiences while receiving care. I like leaving them with a big smile on their face when it’s time for me to go.
Ravin M. is a registered nurse in Lunenburg, NS. He has been with VON since 2018.
"I always enjoyed caring for people. I worked in a long-term care facility for 31 years, where one of my friends recommended that I apply. She told me that I would love it, and I do! It's been the best decision for me because I go home at the end of the day knowing I made a difference. It's the best feeling."
