24Hr HomeCare Saves a Client's Life with CPR

Encino -24Hr HomeCare CPR-certified caregiver Tracy Lynn Day successfully performed CPR to save the life of her client Judith Marti on July 17, 2013. 24Hr HomeCare requires that all caregivers receive training and certification in CPR before working in the field.

“We are very proud of Tracy, who has always demonstrated a commitment to proactive, compassionate caregiving,” said Jennifer Wheat, general manager of the 24Hr HomeCare Encino office. “We are honored and humbled to work with such a qualified person. She embodies all the qualities we look for in a 24Hr HomeCare employee.”

A CPR-certified caregiver with extensive training and experience, Day’s rapid response saved her client’s life. During her shift, Day saw that her client, Judith Marti, had lost the ability to breathe. Immediately, Day called 911, administered CPR and successfully kept Marti breathing until the paramedics arrived. Marti is currently in stable condition at Woodland Hills Hospital.

“Tracy saved my wife's life, and for that I am eternally grateful,” said Oscar Marti, Judith Marti’s husband. “While my daughter and I panicked, Tracy kept a cool head. She has given new meaning to the word ‘indispensable,’ not just with the everyday tasks required to properly take care of an ill patient, but with her good sense of humor and attitude toward life.  She has become almost a member of the family.”

24Hr HomeCare has established rigorous screening processes and training programs, ensuring they hire the most responsible and compassionate employees possible in order to provide high-quality non-medical in-home care services. 24Hr HomeCare policy requires that all caregivers have at least one year of experience, earn CPR certification and pass a series of background checks to guarantee the clients’ safety. Through comprehensive questionnaires and interview processes, 24Hr HomeCare matches the right caregivers with their clients.
