Retha Dobson, HHA, Huntingdon Office
CareAll would like to honor Retha Dobson, HHA, of the Huntingdon office, who has worked for the company since 1993. Sanna Evans, director of patient services, says, “Retha goes above her job description. She is always willing to help any of her co-workers and patients and does it with a smile on her face. Retha has prepared and brought food for many of her patients who need it.”
“She is always willing to give that extra bath or fix her patient’s hair for a doctor’s appointment, a funeral or a wedding,” Sanna said. “She is always willing to spend that extra time with the patients who just want to talk. She has an infectious attitude I wish we all could have every day.”
Sanna said Retha had a female patient who recently passed away only three weeks after her husband had died. Retha is spending her own time visiting the couple’s daughter to assist in her grieving. “I love my job,” Retha said. “I love meeting people and helping. They are home-bound and I am the only person they see. A true social bond develops between us.”
Retha used to spend her free time riding horses but now dotes on her grandchildren, Danielle, 15, and Jason, 12.
The Huntingdon office is extremely proud of Retha and all she does for her patients and co-workers.
