Who’s Your Julie? Tell Us About Your Caregiver of the Year – Nominations Open

Posted on July 24, 2018 by Barbara Landeen

The Stars Among Us Award program is open for the 2019 recognition awards and we want to know, Who’s YOUR Julie? 

If you were at the Institute in February, you witnessed one of the highlights of the year when Julie Fuchs, night nurse at Belgrade Nursing Home, was honored with the prestigious statewide Caregiver of the Year Award. This humble, hard-working farm wife and mother of five boys was chosen to represent the outstanding caregivers in our field. See her story here. Now it’s your turn to tell us about your amazing caregivers. 

We know that regardless of building, service line, geographic area or size of operation, our members have the most generous and talented people serving older adults. The Caregiver of the Year Award honors direct and support service staff who go beyond expectations to greatly enhance the quality of life for seniors and their communities. Caregiver of the Year Awards are given at the statewide level and in each of seven districts. 

Nominations for the 2019 Stars Among Us Awards are open through Sept. 14. All members are welcome and encouraged to submit nominations for your amazing caregivers, volunteers, leaders, and the great work your organization is doing to enhance the experience of aging. 

All award recipients will be honored at the 2019 Institute & Expo in February. Click here for all the details.
