Chantal Rios is the WCA Home Employee of the Month for August

Chantal Rios has only worked for the WCA Home since April of this year but already has won residents and staff over with her friendly smile and gentleness.

Rios was born in Buffalo and raised in Dunkirk, where she continues to live with her two children.  Rios graduated from Dunkirk High School, became a certified cosmetologist through BOCES and then received her PCA training from Chautauqua Opportunities.

Being a single mom and working fulltime at WCA Home and part-time as a home care aide for Chautauqua Opportunities is a lot to handle but Rios enjoys making times special with her children by taking them to the park and swimming and especially to Chuckie Cheese.  Rios says her family is small but very important to her and her children.  Rios does enjoy an occasional shopping trip for clothes and shoes for everyone.

Rios is seriously considering attending classes to become a LPN and will be looking into several different places offering this specific training.

Whatever Rios decides to do, ladies at the WCA Home are looking forward to having her with them for quite a while.  Rios enjoys caring and helping the residents and it shows with her actions.
