FINALIST

Shelly Erickson

Right at Home
Sioux Falls, SD

Many clients refer to Shelly as a friend rather than a caregiver. She is truly present with all her clients, developing a relationship with them that goes beyond the completion of assigned tasks.
 
 When she learned of one client’s passion for Corvette cars, Shelly arranged a “Corvette Parade” by a local Corvette club and invited other team members to meet at the client’s house to watch the parade with the client, providing not only a wonderful surprise, but also an opportunity for community engagement and interaction that this client’s spouse said they were missing after the client’s dementia diagnosis.
