As far as one of the Home Instead® clients was concerned, Valarie Dominguez was The One. In June, the client asked Valarie if she had a passport. “Yes,” Valarie said, “but I wasn’t sure if it had expired. The client’s daughters had planned a cruise, and the client wanted to go. She told Valarie, “The only way I can go is if you accompany me and take care of me.” As soon as Valarie returned home, she looked for the passport and indeed found it had expired a month earlier. “When I went back to work with her,” Valarie recalled, “I explained the situation and told her that she should ask one of her other Care Pros if they could go with her.” The client’s reply? She emphatically said no. Valarie added: “She said I was the only one who she wanted to take. As the months passed, my client’s health declined and she just recently passed away. She will always have a special place in my heart and will be greatly missed, but I know I made a difference in her life. She was happy those last five months I worked with her. And, for that, I am grateful,” said Valarie, who was honored as the October Care Pro of the Month. In May, she joined owner Todd Felker’s Home Instead franchise that serves Collin County from its office in Plano.
