Please join us in congratulating Annita for Host Home Provider of this month!! This submission was written by Abeer on behalf of the Denver Metro 1 Team:
I nominate Annita for HHP of the month because of her person centered approaches and her dedication to providing the highest quality of services to the persons receiving services.
Annita supports the whole person and has an innate ability to personalize services and supports to meet the person where they are. Her calm and composed demeanor is contagious and does carry on to the PRS.
One of the PRS in my caseload moved to Annita’s home in Feb of 2024. For the purpose of this communication, we will call this PRS AB5. Prior to moving to Annita’s home, AB5 demonstrated little to no interest in communicating with people and seemed unaware of my presence in almost every home visit I made. I had to take the initiative and the effort to communicate with AB5. After moving in with Annita, AB5 started to come to me when I go there. AB5 looks at me when I attempt to communicate and sometimes, AB5 will come to me before I even try to reach out.
AB5 has gained many new skills since moving to Annita’s! AB5, for example, started to participate in putting clothes in the laundry basket. AB5 started to engage in simple table top activities and has shown interest in the other PRS living in the home.
AB5 doesn’t demonstrate the interest in choosing clothes or the ability to participate in choosing what to wear. Annita, however, does care and will invest every effort in ensuring that AB5 has opportunities to choose the best of clothes.
Thanks again Annita for everything you do to support AB5!!
