Client Care Supervisor - Tacoma Branch Manager

 

Kelly RuddWhat I do.

My roll at FRHC is to provide excellent care to my clients and their families, support to my caregivers and co-workers and always do my very best to provide “care with kindness.”  It’s a big responsibility being the Tacoma Branch Manager. I have very high standards and have fabulous, skilled, compassionate, warm and caring caregivers who have helped our Family Resource Home Care clients tremendously. 

It is an honor to provide help to my clients and to be a resource for them.  I value and appreciate my fabulous caregivers and am so thankful to work with them. I admire my Family Resource Homecare staff and have such respect for each one of them.   Everyday we work as a team and help each other to meet our goals and provide a high level of care to all our clients.

A favorite client story

I was sitting in the living room of one of my dear clients.  We are helping this client with light housekeeping, meal prep and planning and I had reviewed all the things our caregiver could do for this client, regarding help with personal care, this sweet lady who has MS and had raised 6 children, looked up at me and said “could the caregiver help me shampoo my hair, with my MS that is a difficult task for me.  But I wouldn’t want the caregiver to get wet.”  This simple request from this lady, was so amazing to me.  She so wanted to be independent and not “put out” our caregiver.  It makes me happy to know that our caregivers can provide very simple tasks for our clients and it makes a big difference in our client’s everyday lives.  This client has bonded so well with their caregiver and are so appreciative of the help she has provided them and look forward to each of her scheduled visits.

On a personal note

I was born in a small town named Montesano, Washington and graduated from the University of Washington with a Bachelor Science in Nursing. I enjoyed the science field and went into nursing because I wanted to help people.  I have worked in all areas of nursing. I have 3 children ages 20, 18 and 15. I grew up playing classical piano for 11 years and enjoyed competing in cross country and track events (the 800 and mile) in high school and still enjoy running.  I have run 5 marathons; my favorite was the Seattle marathon.  I enjoy travelling, especially Europe. I have family in England and Germany and will be going back in the next few years.
