Maxim Healthcare Services

Congratulations to our 2023 National Caregiver of the Year, Tina Paradise-Hall, LPN, from Kansas City, KS! “If I had a loved one requiring skilled-nursing services, I would want Tina,” said Katelyn Keeney, Recruitment Operations Manager in the Kansas City office. “We all agree that she is one of the best Maxim has to offer, and we can always count on her to deliver compassionate, quality care.” For 20 years, Paradise-Hall has worked as a caregiver, spending the last five years with Maxim. Paradise-Hall is described by her patients’ families as a caring, highly-knowledgeable and passionate caregiver. She currently cares for a medically complex five-year-old boy who has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. While there are many admirable qualities about Paradise-Hall, her colleagues all agree that she is an advocate for her patients. Recently, she was able to teach one of her young non-verbal patients how to use a communication device. She believed in her young patient’s abilities and was able to help him in school, advocating that he get to take part in learning the curriculum. The patient thrived under Paradise-Hall’s care and support, and the family largely credits her for their son’s academic success. #MaximCOY2023

Independence Day is a time to celebrate freedom and the choices we make in our lives. At Maxim Healthcare Services, we believe in honoring the dignity and independence of our patients every day, not just on special occasions. Maintaining your independence while receiving the care you need is possible with the support of our compassionate CNAs, HHAs, and other home care professionals. We understand the importance of respecting each individual's value, involving them in decisions about their care, and promoting their autonomy and self-esteem.

Happy Juneteenth!

Get to know our 2023 Behavioral Caregiver of the Year, Vijenti “VJ” Naiker! VJ works as an Intensive Behavior Support Provider out of our Emeryville, CA, Behavioral office and has been with Maxim for five years. Since joining the team, VJ has served more than five clients, including some high-acuity clients with extensive needs and problem behaviors. Currently, VJ is providing care to Jason Chandler, a 38-year-old with developmental delays. Her support extends beyond helping Jason with daily tasks and participating in activities like the Special Olympics. VJ’s presence and assistance also gives Penny, Jason’s mom, the much-needed respite to care for herself and her other son. VJ has won the Emeryville office’s Monthly Star Award multiple times due to the quality of her work in the field and her interactions with team members in the office. Claire Palmer, Business Development Manager, shared, “VJ is an incredibly hard worker and has made a huge difference in the lives of many people. She is a rock of support. She is ethical and client-focused 100% of the time.” https://lnkd.in/eJpRD-B2 #MaximCOY2023

Elevating care to empower lives. In April we had the opportunity to meet with nearly 1,000 leaders at our National Meeting in Orlando, FL. It was an incredible time of connection, learning, and focus on our mission. Our mission to enhance the quality of life within our communities will continue to remain the foundation of why we do what we do. At the meeting, we revealed our new tagline succinctly capturing this mission statement and the spirit of Maxim even further.

"I think my biggest goal in life is to celebrate my children's successes." One of Maxim’s organizational goals is to embody a culture of mutual trust and respect, diversity & inclusion, and servant leadership. We talked to Laurie Phipps, Area Vice President, Clinical Operations, to learn what diversity and inclusion means to her.

National Military Spouse Appreciation Day is celebrated every year on the Friday before Mother’s Day. On this day, we honor the contributions and sacrifices made by military spouses.   Some 4.7 million military veterans have a service-connected disability. For veterans living with severe disability who wish to remain at home, often it is spouses and other family members who bear the brunt of 24/7 caregiving responsibilities. America’s military spouses are the backbone of the families who support our troops during mission, deployment, reintegration and reset.   https://lnkd.in/e94KbyXT
