Orchard Court Continuing Care Assistants Ashlee Greenough, Helen Nickerson and Audra Abbott.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Helen Nickerson is a Continuing Care Assistant at Orchard Court. Every day, when she goes to work, she\u2019s doing what she loves: providing resident-focused, quality care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


This is something that\u2019s near and dear to her heart. Growing up in Truro, NS, her mother worked as a registered nurse in long term care. Following in her footsteps, Helen found herself working in the same setting, starting in the kitchen, and working her way up to become a personal care worker. She then transitioned into a career in mental health until 10 years ago when she decided to write a new chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cWhen Shannex came to Truro I saw they were doing things differently,\u201d Helen says with a smile. \u201cI was really impressed and wanted to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


When she became a CCA, she applied to Shannex, got the job and never looked back. Her decision has led her to a rewarding career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cYou get to provide residents with care in a loving way,\u201d she says. \u201cTo be able to commune with the person is really special \u2013 I\u2019m passionate about what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


She points out that she\u2019s surrounded by a team of like-minded professionals who are dedicated to putting residents first \u2013 a commitment that extends beyond Orchard Court. When COVID-19 outbreaks touched our communities, Helen put up her hand and volunteered her assistance, working in the non-COVID units. In particular, her time at Tucker Hall stands out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\u201cSome of these people I will never forget,\u201d she says. \u201cWatching them work with residents filled my heart and made me cry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Helen feels blessed to do what she does for a living and knows it\u2019s more than a job \u2013 it\u2019s a calling.
Thanks to Helen and all our continuing care and healthcare workers for everything they do to keep our residents safe, happy and cared for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
