🌟 Caregiver Spotlight – May 🌟

Please join us in celebrating Stalande Joseph Germinal, our May Caregiver Spotlight at JFS at Home!

What she loves most about her profession:
“What I love the most about my profession is the smile on my clients’ faces when I do something for them. I love when they feel good about my care, happy when they see me coming, and safe when I am with them.”

Her advice to other caregivers:
“Please do the job with your heart. If you don’t want something for your loved ones, don’t do it to your clients. Like the Bible says, do the work like you were working for God. Even if you don’t have a supervisor with you watching, God is watching.”

How she spends her free time:
“I used to enjoy watching TV in my free time, but now I like a great day of rest, self-care, and sleep. With how busy I am with my toddler, school, and work, a day of rest just to sleep and take care of myself is what I enjoy most.”

We are so grateful for Stalande’s compassion, heart, and dedication to our clients and their families. 💜
Help us congratulate her in the comments below!

We’re honored to celebrate two of our wonderful caregivers, Carline Henry and Smaider Charlestin, as they give thanks for their son Carl’s incredible achievement.

Their faith, love, and dedication to both their family and our clients truly inspire us. Please join us in congratulating Carl and in thanking Carline and Smaider for the compassionate care they provide every day. 💛

“It’s very important to stop and dedicate a week to recognize the professionals in our community who dedicate their lives to the wellbeing of everyone in our community – from their behavioral and mental health to their physical health to their emotional health to their relationships with family members.”

– Marissa Gordon, MPA, CEO/Administrator, JFS at Home

As National Nurses Week comes to a close, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to the nurses who care for the whole person – body, mind and spirit. Your work changes lives, not just this week, but every week of the year. 💙

JFS at Home is honored to partner with nurses and caregivers who help seniors remain safe, independent and connected at home.

Healthcare is changing – and nurses are leading the way.

As more families look for care at home, the role of skilled nurses has never been more essential. In communities like Boca Raton, where the senior population continues to grow, home‑based care is becoming the future of healthcare.

At JFS at Home, nurses and caregivers guide families, coordinate care and provide reassurance during some of life’s most challenging moments.

“Families are often overwhelmed,” shares Rafie Merzel, RN. “Helping them understand what’s happening – that’s a big part of our role.”

From advancing technology to a growing desire to age in place, the demand for in‑home care continues to rise – and nurses make it possible every day.

It’s National Nurses Week (May 6–12), and we’re celebrating the power of nurses right where it matters most: at home.

For nearly a decade, Rafie Merzel, RN, has been delivering compassionate, personalized care to seniors across Boca Raton through JFS at Home Concierge Home Care. With more than 36 years of experience, she has seen care move from hospital floors to living rooms.

“In the home, you see everything,” Rafie shares. “You understand routines, challenges and what truly matters. It allows you to care for the whole person – not just the diagnosis.”

As we mark 10 years of service, stories like Rafie’s show a powerful shift in care, centered on dignity, connection and helping our clients age in the comfort of their own homes.

This week, we honor nurses who bring expertise, compassion and stability into every home they enter. Thank you for all that you do. 💙

Since 2016, Barbara has generously shared her time, heart, and expertise with our organization. After a remarkable 30+ year career as a Registered Nurse with Memorial Healthcare System, she continues to make a meaningful impact every single day.

Barbara is known not only for her incredible attention to detail and dedication to quality care, but also for the kindness, warmth, and positivity she brings into the office.

As one team member shared, “Your willingness to volunteer and give so generously of yourself truly makes a difference.” Another added, “You are always a breath of fresh air in the office… your dedication and generosity are appreciated beyond measure.”

From supporting long-term care insurance billing to maintaining client files and offering her wisdom to our team, Barbara’s presence is truly invaluable.

Barbara — thank you for your compassion, your generosity, and your heart. We are so grateful for you. 💙
