			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4b0082;">The Caregiver of the Month for May is Matthew Walendzik</span></h3>
<p style="text-align: center;">Congratulations and thank you for all your hard work and dedication!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Matthew is new to the ExpertCare team and has had a fantastic start. The consumer family called to share their enthusiasm about Matthew and how he is already making a difference in the consumer’s life!  The family commented on how Matthew goes above and beyond.  He has been very creative in his new position as a caregiver.  Matthew has helped his consumer apply for jobs and follow-up on job applications.  Matthew has gone as far as helping his consumer qualify to take his driver’s training courses.  This new confidence exhibited by the consumer was because of Matthew’s encouragement and help in preparing the consumer for his test.  This is a great success story that shows how the hard work from a caregiver can change the life of a consumer.  Great job Matthew and wishing you much continued success! </p>
