The Ardmore TaDa award is to celebrate achievements big and smalls that are happening throughout the organization. 

 

Congratulations DSP William Davies who received a TaDa December 2022. He has proven to be very versatile. His ability to transition to different locations makes him an extremely valuable asset to Residential Services. During times of low staffing, William has come to the rescue of numerous Home Coordinators. His ability to adjust to the varying needs of the people he supports cannot be overstated. Thanks for everything you do!

On February 14th 2022 was Ardmore Employee Recognition Day! Travel mugs filled with goodies were given to each person who works at Ardmore.  At a meeting recently, one family member commented that this was the happiest she had ever seen her daughter and how much she appreciated the staff at Ardmore.  Thank you to all of the Ardmore Employees who are Empowering People to Discover a Life They Choose and Love!

Direct Support Professionals provide supports to find and maintain friendships with people.  Pat and Barb met through a lunch club group in 2019. Even through these challenging times, the staff have helped them find ways to connect and stay in touch.
