Going Above and Beyond to Save a Life
When caregiver Dawn Manns arrived at her client's house on Monday August 3, she found her client's granddaughter searching for her missing grandmother.  The search begins with Dawn, the personal Service Worker and the granddaughter franticly searching the neighborhood.  After 15 minutes, they both realized they needed to contact the police department.  A call was made to the police and the other two workers assigned to this client.

Annette, the homemaker, was able to recall exactly what the client was wearing when she left her a few minutes/hours prior.  Candace, the caregiver who was scheduled to come in later was contacted and she immediately came over to assist in the search.  The group of staff from Northwest Tennessee Human Resource Agency along with the police department were able to locate the client after an exhausting three hour search.  The client was two miles from home and in a ditch that water had already reached chest level. Annette, the caregiver that found the client, pulled her out of the ditch.

Director, Alice Bradley stated "these employees are an example of dedication above and beyond the realm of their job description. I would hate to the think what might have happened without their focus and determination in finding this client".
