Making the Impossible Possible in Holden, Maine
Rehab Without Walls
Residential Program Manager Deanne Mayo has been Working Smart and Doing Good in Holden, ME. She began as a direct support professional, grew into house management, and then program leadership, and the way she moves toward a challenge instead of around it reflects 蘑菇视频鈥檚 LEGACY value of Get Going.
A single day for Deanne might include an outing with a resident, a patient admission, and then an evening spent making sure the next day鈥檚 shifts are covered. When a new resident arrived and the referring provider had left out required paperwork, she worked with the Department of Human Services late into the night until everything was in order and earned praise the next morning for staying kind and steady through a long, stressful stretch.
A care coordinator from an outside agency saw the same thing, writing that during a time-sensitive situation Deanne 鈥渟tayed in close communication, worked to obtain required information, and adapted quickly鈥� pleasant, kind, and solution-focused throughout.鈥�
What drives her is seeing what becomes possible when people show up for one another. She still returns to a recent afternoon at the lake, when a member she supports, who lives with walking and balance issues due to a brain injury, climbed over an actual wall, an obstacle that seemed too great to overcome for close to eight years. 鈥淭hings that seem hard, difficult, or even impossible can become possible with encouragement, teamwork, and determination,鈥� Deanne said.
Congratulations, Deanne. The way you Get Going for your teams and the members you serve turns hard days into moments of real progress.
Work Smart. Do Good.
