Choosing to serve as a caregiver is truly answering a most noble call. It means dedicating your life to the comfort and care of others. A commitment to making each day as healthy, happy ,and as full of hope as possible for a fellow human being. 

A caregiver answers this call with the full knowledge that the work is often done behind the scenes, with privacy and discretion, and often with little fanfare. But the caregiver knows.

The caregiver knows that it is the kind word that nourishes the soul. The listening ear that builds connection. And the gentle touch that makes each day better. 

The caregiver knows it is they who are missed most when they are away. The caregtiver knows that without them, heatlh would not improve, happinesss would be missing, and hope diminished. The caregiver knows without the caregiver, there is no care. 

At Benton House we know this too. It's why we hold our care team in such high regard, and give them such a voice in our company. Make no mistake, we believe every role has value and every person has purpose. But we do hold our care tream in special esteem.
