When a colleague becomes a client, then one of your best referral sources.
Thank you Laurie!
It is a picture perfect circle in business. You have someone you work with professionally, and the connection is obvious. We share the same fabric when it comes to helping others.
Then when I left my previous role working with Laurie as a contractor as Saint Anthony's, I made sure to look her up and share my exciting news about starting with Maintain Me Senior Services. We often still crossed paths, and it was always a pleasure to catch up when we saw one another.
About a 2 years into my new role at Maintain Me, Laurie reached out for her own family member. It was rewarding to be able to help Laurie and her family during the difficult time. It also gave Laurie a strong understanding of what support I was able to offer a family in a time of need, and she in turn knew what to look out for when someone needed resources for their own loved one.
Last week we got a referral from a woman whose husband was in the Emergency Department. They had been there all day, with no answers of where to go next. Her husband did not have an "admittable diagnosis" yet his care needs were too high to be met by her alone. She felt stuck and Laurie recognized it. She pulled up Maintain Me on the computer in the patient's room, I was able to meet them on the same day--and we got to work!
Joe is now comfortable in his new home, his wife is grateful and resting easier knowing that her husband will be well cared for and she can enjoy their time together. It means a lot to me, this cycle of support and shared goals within our careers and life.
Thank you for continuing to trust in me, Laurie!
