Interim Healthcare of Clearwater | October Employee of the Month
Some nurses choose their profession, but others embrace it as a lifelong calling. For Nurse Annie Rembert, nursing has been more than a career for the past 47 years. It has been an opportunity to make a difference in people's lives, and provide compassionate care when it matters most.
We are proud to recognize Nurse Annie Rembert as our October Employee of the Month!
Annie began her nursing career in 1979, starting in a psychiatric facility before going on to serve 10 years at the Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital. Her professional journey also included working on a hospital trauma unit and years of experience in skilled nursing and rehabilitation. Throughout her career, she has gained invaluable experience caring for patients with diverse needs and navigating some of healthcare's most challenging environments. After many years in physically demanding hospital and rehabilitation settings, Annie wanted to continue doing what she loved without the physical demands and fast-paced pressures of those environments. That desire eventually led her to home health care. And as it turns out, she found a setting that reminded her why she became a nurse in the first place.
When asked what she enjoys most about working in home care, Annie shared that she loves the flexibility, the opportunity to interact with clients and their families, and, most importantly, having the time to provide care without constantly feeling rushed. She especially enjoys watching clients regain strength, reach milestones, and accomplish things they once struggled to do. One particular client has been especially meaningful to her. When Annie first began caring for him, he was unable to walk. Through the dedication and collaboration of his care team, he has made remarkable progress and is now walking and doing much more independently. Seeing that transformation has been incredibly rewarding and continues to motivate Annie in the work she does every day.
For Annie, great patient care is never a one-person effort. She describes her relationships with the caregiving team as strong, trusting, and built on a shared commitment to patient-centered care and advocacy. She speaks very highly of our home health aides, affectionately describing them as "magnificent!" She values their feedback, welcomes their input, and believes that open communication and collaboration are essential to providing the best possible care for every client. Annie also shared how much she appreciates the support she has received from Interim's management and administrative team. She openly admits that technology has not always been her strongest area, but she recalls how supportive everyone was when she first joined the agency. She specifically recognized Gabby in Human Resources for her patience and willingness to walk her through technical challenges, and Shontique in Staffing for working with her to accommodate her scheduling needs. She also had wonderful things to say about the nursing leadership and support she has received. "Jenn, the Director of Nursing, is always there any time I need anything. She has been there since day one. When I call, she is always there to answer my questions, supportive and responsive. I can't say enough about how great the management is." Annie even shared that her son encouraged her to reach out and ask for help whenever she needed it, and she found that the support was always there.
Outside of nursing, Annie enjoys spending quality time with her daughter and grandchildren, reminding us that family and meaningful connections are just as important outside of work as they are in the care we provide. When asked what advice she would give to someone entering home health care, Annie offered some heartfelt words of wisdom: Be honest, use your team and management as resources, and remember why you are there. She acknowledges that working with clients and families can sometimes be challenging, but emphasizes that our responsibility is to care for clients, advocate for their needs, and treat them like family. Perhaps her most meaningful reflection was that home health care allows nurses to get back to what nursing is truly about: caring for people, building relationships, advocating for patients, and celebrating their progress.
That sentiment captures exactly what we strive for at Interim Healthcare of Clearwater.
Annie, thank you for bringing your 47 years of nursing experience, compassion, wisdom, and dedication to our team. Your willingness to collaborate, advocate, encourage, and celebrate every client milestone makes a difference not only in the lives of those you serve but also in the lives of the colleagues who have the privilege of working alongside you.We are grateful to have you as part of our Interim family. Congratulations on being named our October Employee of the Month!
With appreciation,

Interim Healthcare of Clearwater | Caregiver Spotlight
Behind every great home care experience is a caregiver who brings compassion, dedication, and a genuine love for the people they serve. At Interim Healthcare of Clearwater, we are proud to recognize Sybil Monroe, whose years of experience and positive spirit make her a valued member of our team. Sybil's journey in healthcare began in 1984, when she became a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) on January 12. What initially began as an employment opportunity grew into a career spanning more than four decades. She started her career working in a nursing home, where she gained valuable experience caring for residents and developed the foundation for the work she continues to love today. For the past four years, Sybil has been working in home health care, and she says she prefers this setting. Having experienced both facility-based care and home care, she appreciates the opportunity to focus on one client at a time. She recognizes that facility environments often involve heavier workloads and higher patient-to-staff demands, whereas home care allows her to provide more individualized attention and build meaningful relationships with the clients she serves.
When asked what she enjoys most about working with Interim Healthcare, Sybil immediately highlighted the people and the positive energy throughout the organization. She shared that she gets along well with everyone, including staff and management, and appreciates being able to communicate openly with anyone whenever a question or concern arises. That sense of teamwork and open communication is something Sybil values deeply. Her advice to anyone joining the home care profession is simple but meaningful: Be honest, always do your best, and when problems arise, go directly to the source. Her perspective reflects the importance of accountability, professionalism, and maintaining positive working relationships.
And when Sybil isn't busy caring for her clients, she enjoys spending her time doing what matters most to her: being with her grandchildren. Family clearly holds a special place in her heart, and that same appreciation for meaningful relationships carries into the care she provides.
When asked about her clients, Sybil's response was short but spoke volumes: "I love all of my clients." Sometimes, the most meaningful expressions of compassion are found in the simplest words. Sybil, thank you for bringing your experience, positive attitude, honesty, and dedication to Interim Healthcare of Clearwater. Your commitment to the people you serve and the positive energy you bring to our team do not go unnoticed. We are grateful to have you as part of our Interim family!

Eleven Years of Compassion, Purpose, and Making a Difference
Behind every meaningful act of care is someone who understands that it is about so much more than completing a task. It is about preserving dignity, building trust, and making people feel valued. For Paris Farmbry, that understanding is at the heart of everything she does. We are proud to recognize Paris Farmbry as our August Employee of the Month! With 11 years of experience in healthcare, Paris has dedicated much of her professional journey to caring for others. She began her career as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in skilled nursing, where she spent six years developing her skills and building meaningful relationships with the individuals she served. Her experience also includes working in home health and hospice care, giving her a broad perspective on the importance of compassionate, individualized care. When asked what initially drew her to healthcare, Paris shared that her love and passion for people inspired her to pursue the profession. She wanted to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who depend on others for support. Her passion became even more personal through her own family's experience. Paris played an important role in caring for her father, an experience that further strengthened her desire to help others and reinforced how meaningful compassionate care can be to both patients and their families.After being referred to Interim Healthcare by a family member, Paris immediately recognized an opportunity to continue doing what she loves in a home care setting. She appreciated being able to maintain her passion for caregiving while transitioning into an environment that was less physically demanding than traditional facility-based care. When asked what she enjoys most about working with clients, Paris explained that she loves bringing joy to someone's day and knowing that her clients can depend on her. For her, being a caregiver means becoming someone a client can trust, rely on, and feel comfortable welcoming into their home.
One of the most beautiful aspects of Paris's approach to caregiving is how deeply she values each client's individuality and life story. She shared that every client has a unique story, and she genuinely enjoys listening to them reminisce about their lives. She believes there is something extraordinary about watching someone's face light up as they recall meaningful memories and experiences. Those conversations, she says, are a reminder of the incredible lives people have lived and the importance of taking the time to truly connect with them. Paris also recognizes that some of the most meaningful moments in caregiving happen during the simplest everyday tasks. Whether helping a client brush their teeth, get dressed in the morning, comb their hair in the direction they have always worn it, or put on their favorite pajamas, she understands that these seemingly small details can make an enormous difference. To Paris, these moments are about more than assistance with daily activities. They are about preserving a person's dignity, respecting their preferences, and helping them maintain a sense of independence and familiarity in their daily lives. She describes the value of home health care as providing people with quality care in the comfort and privacy of their own homes, particularly those who may not require hospitalization but still need assistance to safely manage their daily needs. She believes that caregivers must genuinely understand the purpose behind this work because providing meaningful care requires more than simply showing up for a shift.
Paris also speaks highly of the relationships she has developed with her fellow caregivers and the Interim management team. She appreciates working alongside people who genuinely care and describes management as fabulous, approachable, and easy to communicate with. Having a supportive team, she believes, makes the work even more rewarding.
When asked what advice she would give someone entering home health care, Paris offered a message that perfectly captures her philosophy: "You have to be in healthcare for the right reasons. Provide care to your clients as if they were your own family member." Outside of work, Paris enjoys spending quality time with her family and, of course, enjoying delicious food!
Paris, thank you for the compassion, patience, and genuine love you bring to the people you serve. Your ability to recognize the importance of the little things, preserve the dignity of those in your care, and see the extraordinary stories behind every individual is what makes you such a special part of our team. Your dedication reminds us that exceptional caregiving is not measured only by the tasks we complete, but by how we make people feel along the way. We are grateful to have you as part of our Interim family. Congratulationson being named our August Employee of the Month!
With appreciation,
The Interim Healthcare of Clearwater Team
At Interim HealthCare of Clearwater, providing exceptional care starts with investing in the people who deliver it—and empowering our community with the knowledge and skills to help save lives.
We're excited to celebrate a special milestone! Our Director of Healthcare Services, Jennifer "Jenn" Huff, RN, is officially a certified CPR/BLS instructor through the American Heart Association and recently led her very first CPR training class!
This accomplishment represents more than professional growth. It's another step forward in our commitment to education, safety, and building a community of people who are prepared to act when it matters most.
Because Every Second Counts!
Cardiac emergencies can happen anywhere—at home, at work, or out in our community. Knowing how to recognize an emergency, perform CPR, and use an automated external defibrillator (AED) can make a lifesaving difference while waiting for emergency medical services to arrive.
Through hands-on instruction, Jenn helps participants develop practical skills, build confidence, and feel better prepared to respond during an emergency.
CPR Training Isn't Just for Healthcare Professionals!
While Jenn provides CPR and Basic Life Support (BLS) training for healthcare professionals, she also welcomes community members who want to learn these valuable lifesaving skills.
Whether you're:
-
A healthcare professional maintaining or expanding your certifications
-
A family member or caregiver wanting to be prepared for an emergency at home
-
A business owner or employer looking to provide CPR training for your team
-
A community member who simply wants to know how to help someone in need
There's an opportunity to learn skills that truly matter.
Jenn offers information about available CPR/BLS courses and certification options to help individuals and organizations find training that fits their needs.
Investing in Our Team. Empowering Our Community
Bringing CPR instruction in-house allows Interim HealthCare of Clearwater to make essential training more accessible to our caregiving team while extending that same commitment to safety and preparedness throughout our community.
We're incredibly proud of Jenn for achieving this milestone and sharing her knowledge, experience, and passion for education with others.
Congratulations, Jenn, on your first class! We look forward to seeing the impact you'll continue to make, both within our agency and beyond.
Let's Build a Community That's Prepared, Confident, and Ready to Help!
You don't have to work in healthcare to make a difference during a cardiac emergency. Sometimes, the person who can help is simply the person standing nearby.
Interested in CPR or BLS training?
Whether you're looking for training for yourself, your family, your workplace, or your healthcare team, we'd love to help you explore your options.
Contact Interim HealthCare of Clearwater to learn more about available courses and certification options with Jenn.
Every second counts. Every skill matters. Every life is worth preparing for.
Home Care, Home Health, or Hospice?
These terms get used interchangeably all the time — but they are very different services.
Let’s see how you do.
Scenario 1:
Mom is still living independently, but she’s starting to struggle with showering, meal preparation, laundry, and getting around safely.
Scenario 2:
Dad was recently discharged from the hospital after surgery and needs nursing visits and physical therapy while he recovers at home.
Scenario 3:
A loved one has an advanced illness and the focus has shifted from treatment to comfort, symptom management, and quality of life.
Which is which?
A. Home Care
B. Home Health
C. Hospice
Answers:
1️⃣ Home Care — non-medical assistance with daily activities, personal care, companionship, meals, transportation, and staying safely independent at home.
2️⃣ Home Health — skilled, medically necessary care such as nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, or wound care, typically ordered by a provider.
3️⃣ Hospice — specialized care focused on comfort and quality of life for someone with a life-limiting illness.
The confusing part? A person may need more than one of these services at the same time.
Knowing what each type of care does — and when to call — can make a huge difference for families trying to figure out the next step.

Your Body Is Talking — Don’t Ignore These Signs
Sometimes the earliest signs that something is changing with our health are easy to dismiss.
A little more swelling than usual. Feeling unusually tired or weak. Changes in balance, appetite, breathing, or thinking. On their own, these things may not seem urgent — but noticing a change from your normal can be an important first step in knowing when to speak up or seek help.
This September, Interim HealthCare of Clearwater is continuing our community education series with “Your Body Is Talking — Don’t Ignore These Signs.”
During this interactive presentation, we’ll talk about common changes older adults and their families should pay attention to, what those changes could be telling us, and when it may be time to take action.
Our goal isn’t to make people worry about every little symptom. It’s to help people become more aware of their own “normal” — and feel confident recognizing when something is different.
Know your normal. Notice the change. Speak up.
We’re proud to continue partnering with Neighborly Senior Care Network to bring practical, easy-to-understand health education to older adults in our community.
At Interim HealthCare of Clearwater, we believe education is an important part of helping seniors remain safer, healthier, and more independent — and helping families know what to do before a small concern becomes a crisis.
Keep an eye out for our September presentations, and please share with someone who could benefit!
At Interim HealthCare of Clearwater, caring for people is at the heart of what we do—and that includes caring for the people who make up our team.
Each year, our Director of Health Care Services, Jennifer Huff, makes sure school supplies are available for our employees and their children who may need a little extra support as the new school year gets underway. ❤️
From notebooks and backpacks to everyday classroom essentials, Jenn keeps supplies available in our office and encourages team members to simply reach out privately if there is something their family needs.
There are no questions and no judgment—just support.
We know the beginning of a school year can bring additional expenses for families, and sometimes you don't realize what's missing until classes are already underway. Having a little extra help available can make a meaningful difference.
We are incredibly proud to have leaders like Jenn who recognize that supporting our caregivers and staff means seeing them as whole people—not just employees.
When we take care of our team, our team is better equipped to take care of others.
To all of our Interim HealthCare families with children heading back to school, we wish you a safe, successful, and wonderful school year! 📚✏️🍎
Interim HealthCare of Clearwater
Care that extends beyond the workplace.
Sometimes the changes are subtle.
Mom seems a little more forgetful. Dad isn’t keeping up with the house the way he used to. Medications are being missed. Meals are getting simpler—or skipped altogether. Maybe there’s been a fall, a hospitalization, or a noticeable change in strength.
Families often recognize that something is changing long before they know what to do about it.
At Interim HealthCare of Clearwater, one of our goals is to help families understand their options before they reach a crisis.
Signs It May Be Time to Start a Conversation
A few changes to watch for include:
- Increased falls or difficulty walking
- Changes in memory or confusion
- Missed medications
- Unexplained weight loss or decreased appetite
- Difficulty bathing, dressing, or completing normal routines
- Changes in housekeeping or personal hygiene
- Increased isolation
- Frequent emergency room visits or hospitalizations
- A family caregiver becoming overwhelmed
One change doesn't necessarily mean someone needs care. But a pattern of changes may be a sign that it's time to take a closer look.
Understanding the Different Types of Care
One of the biggest sources of confusion for families is knowing who to call.
Home Care
Provides assistance with everyday activities such as bathing, dressing, meal preparation, mobility, companionship, and other support that helps someone remain safely at home.
Home Health
Provides skilled medical services in the home, such as nursing or therapy, when someone meets eligibility requirements.
Hospice
Provides specialized comfort-focused care for people living with a terminal illness, along with support for their families.
These services serve different purposes, and sometimes more than one may be involved in someone's care.
You Don't Have to Wait for a Crisis
Learning about available resources early gives families more choices and more time to make thoughtful decisions.
That's also why Interim HealthCare of Clearwater is continuing to expand our community education efforts throughout Pinellas County.
We want families, caregivers, seniors, first responders, community organizations, and other local professionals to have practical information they can actually use—from recognizing changes in an aging loved one to understanding when and where to ask for help.
Because knowing what to do next can make an overwhelming situation feel much more manageable.

Bringing Health Education Into Our Community
We are excited to share that Rachel Radmacher, RN and Administrator of Interim HealthCare of Clearwater, is out in the community providing educational presentations for local seniors, caregivers, families, and community organizations.
Each month, Rachel will focus on a different health and wellness topic designed to provide practical information, encourage conversation, and help members of our community feel more confident and informed.
This Month’s Topic: Stroke Awareness
This month’s presentations focus on recognizing the warning signs of a stroke and understanding the importance of acting quickly.
Participants will learn how to use the F.A.S.T. method:
Face drooping. Arm weakness. Speech difficulty. Time to call 911.
Knowing these signs and responding immediately can make a significant difference in a person’s recovery. The presentations also include helpful information about stroke risk factors, prevention, and what to do during a possible emergency.
We are proud to partner with senior living communities and local organizations throughout Pinellas County to make important health education engaging, approachable, and easy to remember.
To schedule a complimentary educational presentation for your community or organization, contact Interim HealthCare of Clearwater.
Investing in Safer Care: Hoyer Lift Training for Our Caregivers
At Interim HealthCare of Clearwater, providing safe, compassionate care begins with making sure our caregivers feel properly trained, supported, and confident in the field.
Our team recently participated in hands-on training with Jackie Catalfina, PTA, focused on proper Hoyer lift mechanics and safe transfer techniques. During the training, caregivers reviewed equipment preparation, sling placement, positioning, body mechanics, communication, and the steps needed to complete a transfer safely and comfortably.
Hoyer lifts can be an important tool for individuals who need significant assistance with mobility. When used correctly, they can help reduce the risk of falls and injuries while protecting both the client and the caregiver. Proper technique also helps preserve the client’s comfort, dignity, and sense of security throughout the transfer.
The training gave our caregivers an opportunity to practice their skills, ask questions, and work through real-life scenarios with an experienced professional. We are grateful for the time and expertise that went into providing this valuable education to our team.
Ongoing training is an essential part of the care we provide. By continuing to invest in education and hands-on learning, we are better equipped to support our caregivers and provide dependable, high-quality home care to families throughout Clearwater and the surrounding communities.

Home Care That Fits Real Life—Without a Four-Hour Minimum
Not every family needs several hours of home care at a time. Sometimes, the most meaningful support comes from having a trusted caregiver stop by to help with the essential tasks that make each day safer, easier, and less overwhelming.
That is why Interim HealthCare of Clearwater created Essentials—flexible, task-based home care designed for individuals who need a little extra help while continuing to live independently.
Essentials visits may include:
- Morning or evening routine assistance
- Wellness and safety checks
- Medication reminders
- Meal preparation
- Light housekeeping
- Laundry and linen changes
- Assistance with errands and everyday household tasks
Whether someone needs help getting ready for the day, a reassuring check-in, or support keeping the home comfortable and organized, our caregivers provide dependable care tailored to the client’s individual plan.
No four-hour minimums. No unnecessary services. Just the right support, at the right time.
Essentials is ideal for older adults living independently, families who cannot be there every day, individuals returning home after a hospital or rehabilitation stay, and anyone who could benefit from consistent assistance with daily routines.
Serving Clearwater and surrounding Pinellas County communities.
Contact Interim HealthCare of Clearwater to learn whether Essentials is the right fit for you or someone you love.
