Golden Care- Somerset Speech Pathologist

C1 3 of covid 19 patients.

Specifically helping them find has played a vital role in the rehabilitation of covid 19 patients.

Specifically helping them find their voice.

As abc 36's cody adams shows you.... it's much more that makes her our golden care provider.

There have been many unspoken heros during the coronavirus pandemic.

But one literally helps people speak.

Sarah leigh: we would facetime the families and how difficult to ne talking and the patient just looking at them, they want to hear the families voice, they want to hear them say i love you, so that's actually one fo teh things i did was work on them saying i love you.

Sarah leigh is a speech pathologist.

From the start of the pandemic she jumped at the opportunity to help others.

I couldn't just sit there knowing that i didn't go in because i was affraid.

Sarah's ability to put others before herself started long before she became a speech pathologist.

In fact it was her past life experience that lead her down the path of caring for others.

My dad was disabled when i was growing up so, that probably started my natural inate ability to do it.

Sarah says she felt the need at a young age to care for her dad.

And that need to care continues through her life.

I carry that over to the next person.

My neighbor, the kid in my kindergarten class.

I think it has just been instilled in me, especially when my dad was really sick and passed away i just knew that the caregiving aspect would probably always be apart of me and i remember him every day when i care for someone because i always naturally cared for him.

For sarah the biggest is making sure her patientsa numbee family to her.

I just can't, when there's a person there i think, what if that was my dad, my grandfather, my husband?

Sarah's sister nominated her to be our golden care provider.

In her nomination she says sarah has the biggest heart.

A short conversation later and that's pretty obvious.
