Ruth Hampton, Caritas 2005 Mission Award (Individual)

With a special grace, Ruth Hampton—Resident Care Manager for Forget-Me-Not Gardens has created joyful community on 10Y, an Alzheimer's unit at the Edmonton General Continuing Care Centre.

 
 

Her style of leadership artfully blends caring and compassion along with professionalism and poise to create a cheerful home for her residents, a safe harbour for family members and a meaningful and pleasant workplace for staff.

 

Ruth is a beacon of hope to her residents, their families and her staff. Her commitment and dedication is infused with boundless enthusiasm and a special love for those with dementia...who seem to draw comfort from her special efforts to create a peaceful, familiar, homelike environment. Among her many regular acts of kindness: Ruth cooks and serves homemade dinners--complete with linens and fine china--on special occasions for her residents. She also steps in when her staff need a listening ear or shoulder to lean on.

As one family member said, "If there are angels this side of heaven, then Ruth Hampton is one of them."
