Congratuations To The 2008 Caregivers of the Year!

With the band rocking out love songs, MIchael Cogdill churning out the dialogue & jokes, and a packed house cheering on our winners, this year's Caregiver Awards was another great success! Our 62 Nominees represented the best there is in the senior service industry and reminded us about the true selflessness required for being an exceptional caregiver. Thank you to all who attended and we look forward to seeing you again in 2009!
