(AUG. 29, 2024 – ROCHESTER, NY) Jewish Home recognized 5 employees for their service and dedication to Wolk Manor Assisted Living residents at the annual Brodsky-Grossman Employee Recognition Awards presented on August 28.
Comfort Owusua-Darkwah, a Resident Assistant since 2020 at The Lodge at Wolk Manor, was honored as the 2024 winner. Those who nominated her complimented her ability to stay attuned to residents and proactively assist when a challenge arises. She was praised for her intuitive ability to understand and respond to what residents need. She consistently goes above and beyond to tend to the little things that when added together, create the kind and compassionate care that residents experience at The Lodge.
“Each year, we have the honor of recognizing staff for their commitment and the exceptional care they provide to our assisted living residents,” says Thomas McDade Clay, Executive Director of Jewish Home Foundation. He continues, “Thanks to the generosity of the family of Sam and Betty Brodsky—who were former Wolk Manor residents—we are able to recognize these outstanding employees and celebrate our commitment to providing the highest level of personalized care.”
The Brodsky-Grossman Recognition Award was established in 2001 by Alan Brodsky and Eileen and Michael Grossman through a generous grant from the Brodsky-Grossman Foundation. Residents, family members, and staff are given the opportunity to nominate Wolk Manor employees who perform above and beyond their normal duties.
