Chris used to work for the same company in Illinois. I was the Social Worker and he was in Activities. I not only saw the residents light up when he came into work, I also heard how caring, interactive, polite and patient he was. This was amazing to hear from the residents because Chris was able to help residents with their psycho-social well being. Chris does well with structure, if you have structured routine for your loved one, he will follow it. I have also observed Chris with dogs, he is very attentive and loving. You will never have to worry about your pet if they are with Chris. I guarantee it.
