Assemblywoman Shanique Speight is new to the state legislature, which makes it all the more important to introduce her to home care right away.

Essex County State Assistive Care (ESS) Director Lisa Minnella and her Clinical Manager Bonnie Caterson arranged for the assemblywoman to meet one of their special clients, 92-year-old Ms. Tisdale. Ms. Tisdale lives in Assemblywoman Speight’s district and has no family in the area. She needs certified home health aide (CHHA) services to assist her with the tasks she cannot do and help her be as independent as she can be in her own home.

The assemblywoman was very happy to meet Ms. Tisdale and spend time learning more about how home care services benefit her constituents and keep so many seniors in their homes.
