At Northside Home Care, we believe in celebrating the caregivers who provide exceptional care to our clients. Today, we’re shining the spotlight on Mary Black, who has been a wonderful part of our caregiving team. Let’s dive into what makes her a perfect fit for providing Whole Person Care!
1. What do you love most about your job?
“I love that I am really helping my clients in their daily lives. With Gene, we are actually seeing a difference in his balance and stability, which is so rewarding!”
Here at Northside, we know that compassionate care makes all the difference, and Mary embodies this with every client interaction.
2. What do you think is the most important skill that a caregiver needs to have?
“I've thought about this a lot, and honestly, I can’t say there is just one important skill. But, I think listening to clients and building trust is crucial. When the client feels comfortable and cared for, everything else falls into place.”
This is why our caregivers at Northside Home Care are more than just helpers—they’re trusted companions who build lasting relationships.
3. What does your perfect weekend look like?
“A perfect weekend is all about the long run and then the recovery run. I’m almost fanatical about running! I also love spending time with my son (when he’s home) and my dog.”
We admire Mary’s energy and dedication, not just to her clients but also to her personal passions.
4. What is one of your favorite local spots to visit?
“My favorite local spot is my neighbor’s deck overlooking the retention pond with the great ecosystem. BUT I absolutely love the Monon Trail.”
As a team rooted in the community, we love hearing about the hidden gems our caregivers enjoy in the area.
5. What is your favorite quote and why?
“Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret to success.” - Swami Sivananda, “Even the smaller acts are connected to bigger acts, so they can have a great impact.”
At Northside Home Care, we believe in this philosophy too—each small act of care adds up to make a big difference in the lives of our clients.
Mary we are so glad you are a part of the Northside Home Care Team! You are valued and appreciated!
