- “PSW Asha Dalal is always willing to take on more clients and hours even on her days off. She is always willing to help the coordination team when her peers call in sick – without hesitation. I have heard from other coordinators that she is extremely hard working, and reliable. She does everything by the book and always calls in with any questions or concerns. Asha has been one of the most pleasant PSWs to work with, and I could not imagine our team without her.” – Victoria Digiovanni

Marissa has provided this client with exemplary care and done so with kindness, empathy, and dedication. Marissa has very special qualities and she has developed a trusting friendship with her client. She has given this client hope, security and helped reduce her anxiety. Marissa cares so deeply and understands her client in a non-judgmental way and as such, they have developed a wonderful relationship. I would like Marissa to be recognized for her outstanding commitment and care.” – Peggy Solomon , MSW, Baycrest
