Meet The
Team
Kerysha Morency Administrative Assistant
Kerysha has been the front line of our "A Team" for the last two years. As our Administrative Assistant, she has worked as the directory for every call that comes into the office, whether it be clients or caregivers. If you ever have a reason to call the main office but are unsure who you need to be connected with, Kerysha will happily ensure that you get to the right place. She is also the first person that people see when they come into the office, and she makes sure that each visitor gets what they need or to who they need support from. Kerysha also works processing aide notes, so she always knows the caregivers and what cases they are on. She can not thank all of you enough for the hard work that you put into caring for each of our clients. We know that you do so much for them, and we appreciate it just as much as they do. Kerysha loves that our work allows for us to help people who are not able to help themselves. Outside of her time at work, Kerysha spends her time with friends and family. As a brunch queen, she can usually be found out with friends on the weekends enjoying good food and quality time with people. With a love for travel as well, she has been to a few different places, enjoying her time abroad. As a Haiti native, she has gone back and visited with family there often.
We are so thankful you Kerysha! Thank you for all that you do to support each department, each caregiver, and each client!
