Each month our program directors choose from hundreds of Life Care Professionals (LCPs) to honor one amazing caregiver in each program who always lives the Kennedy Care values. This month, our Patriot Care LCP of the Month is Abby Shelton!
Get To Know Abby
How long have you been part of the Kennedy Care family?
I have been at Kennedy Care since May of this year.
Why did you choose to join Kennedy Care?
I chose to join Kennedy Care because I have a passion for helping others, and feel I have a personality and love for people that shines through in this job.
What is your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part of this job is seeing the impact I make on my clients’ lives, and the relationships I build with them.
What is your proudest moment from your time at Kennedy Care?
My proudest moment in this job was when a VA nurse took me aside and told me what a wonderful job I was doing and how she believes I saved my clients’ lives.
What is a surprising or fun fact about you?
I am only 4’11 so I quite literally drew the short end of the stick, and am the shortest person in my family.
What are your hobbies?
My hobbies include riding trails with my boyfriend in the truck he built, gardening, painting, and listening to music.
What’s your favorite season of the year and why?
My favorite season is summer, because I love being outdoors and I love the sunshine.
What’s your favorite holiday?
My favorite holiday is either the Fourth of July or Christmas. I love the Fourth of July because you’re surrounded by people with love for their country, and the sun is always out, and the fireworks are amazing. I love Christmas because I love being surrounded by family and watching those I love open gifts I made or got for them, and being close to them sharing that love.
Thank you to Abby and all of our LCPs for always going the extra mile with your care!
