Comfort Keepers Northwest Illinois is proud to announce another National Award Winner

BELVIDERE – Two years ago, Comfort Keepers was honored to announce their caregiver, Amber Seebruck of Byron as national award winning “Comfort Keeper of the Year.”

Now in 2015, the office is pleased to announce John Kuehnel of Belvidere as the current honoree.  Kuehnel was hired as a caregiver two and a half years ago.  Having endeared himself to all of his clients and to all of his coworkers, John is extremely dedicated to his work.

Just prior to learning of this honor, John was hospitalized with severe pneumonia.  He was so ill it was uncertain whether he would be able to attend the Comfort Keepers National Convention in Indianapolis last week.

But John’s biggest concern was returning to work.  He told the doctors that he was anxious to be back at work, not realizing how close he had come to dying from pneumonia.

Fortunately, John was able to attend the award ceremony at the national conference.  John loves his job.  We are proud to say that John Kuehnel is a Comfort Keeper!
