This week, April 18-24, is National Volunteer Week in Canada and the United States, and we wanted to take a moment to thank all of our amazing volunteers for writing letters to our homebound seniors receiving in-home personal care. Your volunteerism means the world not only to the seniors that we serve but also to Meritan. We could not do what we do without all of our amazing volunteers. We wanted to highlight our Volunteer of the Month, Courtney Spencer.
