Meet Our Caregivers: Well Beyond OrdinaryWhether it’s a listening ear or a well-done knock-knock joke, our caregivers bring their unique personalities to the Encore community, offering residents an all-around delightful experience. Our caregivers are dedicated to learning meaningful details about each resident to build trusted relationships, which help them to better understand residents’ daily and long-term wants and needs.
