    Speaking from Carveth Care Centre, a retirement lodge and long-term term care home on James Street in Gananoque, Hollie Brennan is grateful for her job as a Personal Support Worker (PSW).

    “I love it,” she says with smile when asked about her work. “I like the interaction and little visits with the residents. I loved the watermelon eating contest yesterday because I got to participate with the residents. It was a lot of fun.”

    Known for her care and compassion towards others, Hollie is the home’s Employee of the Month for October 2024. A proud mother of two adult boys, Hollie has worked as a PSW at the home for more than three years. She appreciates the award.

    Speaking on behalf of the home, Assistant Director of Care Trish Hornbeck notes, “Holly is a compassionate, caring and a highly valued team member. She consistently goes above for the residents and staff. Hollie’s friendly, calm, and supportive demeanor make her an esteemed role model and an asset to the Carveth family”.

    Asked to describe herself, Hollie uses words such as quiet, kind and compassionate.

    “I’m even-keeled,” says the 43-year-old Gananoque woman with a smile.

    When she’s not at work, Hollie can be found helping her father, reading or crocheting. Her bucket list includes a trip to Edmonton to visit her sister and five-year-old niece. She’d also like to see Canada’s east coast.

    Hollie likes her job and calls the home a good place to be.

    A cook at Helen Henderson Care Centre in Amherstview is celebrating his first year in Canada with his first workplace award.

    Named Employee of the Month at the home for October 2024, Charlie Villafuerte smiles at the good news.

    “I really love working here. I have a good boss and great coworkers,” the friendly 28-year-old Kingston man says with a grin.

    Originally from the Philippines, Charlie and his wife arrived in Canada on Aug. 13, 2023. One month later, he started working as a cook at the popular home that offers retirement living and long-term care.

    “It’s good here, we like it in Canada,” Charlie says about his new residence.

    Speaking in early August, Charlie talks with an easy confidence and quick smile. Asked to describe himself, he uses words such as happy and friendly.

    “I hope I’m friendly,” he adds with a laugh. “I’m trying to be.”

    A valued member of the Helen Henderson family, Charlie is known for his helpful nature and talent preparing food. He admits he like to take a Canadian dish such as spaghetti and give it a Filipino flavour.

    “This is the place where I hope to retire,” he says kindly. “I enjoy every moment here.”

    When he’s not at work, Charlie can be found at home playing online video games. He likes to cook different foods for his wife who determines if he serves it to others.

    “I want to continue learning about food and experimenting. My wife is the judge,” he says with a chuckle.
