Verna Dixon

Verna Dixon has been a caregiver with Family & Nursing Care Select for the past four years. While she finds fulfillment in assisting clients with their daily activities, Verna believes caregiving is about so much more than just tasks — it’s about bringing comfort, love, and kindness to those in need.

One of Verna’s most cherished memories is of a client who was agitated and confused one day. In that moment, Verna instinctively began to sing. Slowly, the client began to calm down, eventually joining in on the song. As Verna embraced her, the client fell asleep in her arms, a moment of pure connection that reinforced why Verna loves this profession. Her advice to fellow caregivers is actions are more important than words — always be loving, kind, and caring, because clients depend on it.

Originally from Jamaica, Verna finds peace and balance in her faith, turning to prayer, gospel music, and motivational speakers to manage stress. She describes herself as a naturally warm and compassionate person, always ready with a smile.
