VAPCP providers in their own words
Virginia’s agency-directed personal care providers are a critical part of our communities. These caregivers are a lifeline for Virginians who choose to receive community-based care instead of institutionalized care. They enable recipients to participate in activities of daily living (ADLs), remain medically stable and stay connected in their communities, which is beneficial for physical and emotional health.
Hear from some of our providers and how VAPCP has helped their business.
"For sixteen years, I’ve provided in-home care for those who need it but still want to live in their homes. I am fulfilled every day by seeing my patients happy and comfortable because they are allowed to remain at home and receive their care there.”
– Kristy Wheeler, Waynesboro
“I have always had a passion for caring and that is what led me to this career. It warms my heart to see when my work is appreciated by clients and to know I am truly helping them.”
– Faisal Ssempagama, Chesterfield
“One of the best parts about my job is seeing clients smile and hearing the thanks from family members when they see how happy and cared for their loved ones are.”
– Ruby Rose, Roanoke
“I love being able to put a smile on sick people’s faces. Recently, I was so proud when I cleaned a client’s apartment and she was finally able to safely move around after my assistance cleaning.”
– Kwanaa White, Richmond
