OLEAN: Total Senior Care recently celebrated four dedicated employees for their years of service and commitment to enhancing the lives of seniors in our community. A recognition event was held on January 30th to honor Karrie White, Sue Silvis, and Roberta "Bobbi" Gibble, each celebrating five years of service. Additionally, Darlene Hendershot was recognized for an incredible 30 years of service to HomeCare & Hospice.
Total Senior Care (TSC), a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), provides comprehensive, long-term managed care to adults aged 55 and older. The program helps individuals remain in their homes while receiving the support they need to stay healthy, safe, and independent.
Karrie White, a TSC aide, finds joy in the daily connections she builds with participants. “I love spending time with them—it’s more than just a job,” Karrie shared. “The laughter, the stories, and the smiles make every day special.” Karrie resides in Olean with her husband, Larry, and sons, Troy and Tidus.
Sue Silvis, a nurse practitioner at TSC, echoed Karrie’s sentiment, emphasizing the center's warm and welcoming environment. “It’s such a positive place to be. The staff is incredible, and our participants become like family,” Sue said. She lives in Portville with her husband Scott and their two children.
Roberta "Bobbi" Gibble, TSC’s compliance and quality improvement coordinator, brings a passion for both patient care and precision. “I love working with our participants, but I also thrive on making sure our processes and numbers align to provide the best possible care,” Bobbi said. She calls Cuba, NY home, where she lives with her wife Jody, mother-in-law, and their many fur babies.
Although unable to attend the celebration, Darlene Hendershot was honored for three decades of service as an aide with HomeCare & Hospice. Reflecting on her career, she shared, “The one-on-one connection with people is what I cherish most. I only wish I had met them years earlier, before hospice care, because every person I’ve assisted has been a joy to know.” Darlene resides in Salamanca with her husband Harry, and together they have three children and two granddaughters.
Melissa Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer of HomeCare & Hospice and Total Senior Care, expressed deep gratitude for the honorees’ dedication. "These individuals truly embody the heart of our mission. Their compassion and commitment make a lasting impact on the lives of those whom we serve every day. We are incredibly grateful to have them as part of our team.”
At Total Senior Care and HomeCare & Hospice, staff members are committed to delivering exceptional, personalized care that prioritizes independence, dignity, and quality of life. By helping individuals remain in their homes and communities, both organizations continue to provide essential services that make a meaningful impact.
