We’re thankful to have Dotty as part of the Senior Resource Center Team!

💗 THANK YOU, DOTTY — 1 Year Anniversary! 💗

Dorothy "Dotty" Madden is an In-Home Aide in our Haywood County Senior Resource Center Senior Services department and has been an employee with Mountain Projects for one year.

As an In-Home Aide, Dotty spends her days helping clients with chores they may have a harder time with as they age.

Dotty does more than help keep homes in order—she brings joy, companionship, and encouragement to our clients by providing essential socialization to those who may be homebound and lonely, which helps improve the quality of their lives.

Our senior services program aims to help clients remain living independently for as long as possible and caring employees like Renee play a tremendous part in helping our clients achieve that.

Thank you, Dotty, for all your kindness and dedication to our senior clients.
