Personal supporter worker Aileena Arps' family is recognizing her hard work.

"This loving, dedicated and caring personal support worker works at the Rosedale centre in Matheson taking care of our elderly at this most vulnerable time. She loves all her residents and cares for them as if they were her own parents. Her hands are raw from the constant cleaning, her face filled with smiles and laughs and her will to help greater than anyone I know. Since we are all staying home when she’s out shopping she makes sure we are stocked. If not she gets us out items to save us having to go out in the community. Keeping her own family safe. She’s not one to give up and she stands with her family at her side. We love her and are proud to know she’s making a difference out there. 

We love you Aileena."
