Mitchell Prowse, therapy aide

Mitch is a therapy aide at Villa Marie who doesn’t think twice about going above and beyond to support the residents at his site. He believes residents should be comfortable and have the best experience possible, whether that means staying late to set up an air surface for a resident with pressure ulcers or simply listening respectfully to patients and families. He shares his experience and knowledge with team members and during resident conferences.

Mitch is inclusive and friendly and a welcome sight to residents, staff and families – who are always happy to see that he’s working on the floor. He’s been flexible while the site has been without an occupational therapist for almost a year. The challenge, however, has not dimmed his enthusiasm for going the extra mile.
