Blandine was recognized by a patient for the compassionate, steady, and empowering care she provided during a patient’s earliest days of rehabilitation. She encouraged the patient to value small improvements, helping build confidence and momentum at a time when progress felt uncertain. Blandine prioritized safety with every interaction, reinforcing the importance of proper positioning, secure footwear, and asking for help to avoid setbacks.

“I always believed that any improvements we want to make rest solely on our own shoulders, but Blandine has shown me that when you put some trust in others who care for you, you will get there much faster and in a much happier frame of mind,” the nominator wrote.
