Chris De Jesus

Chris, 44, graduated from Holy Angel University in the Philippines. He immigrated to the U.S. in 2000 and began working at a local six-bed, residential care home. In his three years with Home Care Assistance, Chris has worked with a number of clients with special needs, including an 89 year old man with middle stage Alzheimer’s disease and a high profile quadriplegic at an upscale residence facility. This client is bed-bound, and Chris is responsible for transferring him from bed to wheelchair, assisting with showering, dressing and grooming. His client’s wife has nothing but praise for Chris, complimenting him on his strength and ability to make her husband feel secure.

Chris says,“There is nothing else I would rather do. Caregiving is my calling from God.” He’s been serving this client for more than a year and also works with another elderly couple. Thank you, Chris, for all you do!
