Hospice Chaplain Dan Tayman from Senior Independence Home Health and Hospice was nominated for Senior Advocate of the Year by the team at Senior Independence for his efforts through the years advocating for the senior population. He has dedicated countless hours outside the "call of duty" to offer his time, energy, and resources to ensure that others have an improved quality of life. The Senior Independence Home Health & Hospice team was present at the 2015 Valley Legacy Awards ceremony held on October 7 to support its team member.
Kate Davis,
Director of Business Development at Senior Independence states, "He is a man of action, love, and inspiration…whether it is bringing flowers, prayers, or kind words to those seniors he serves, he does it with humility and never with the expectation of recognition or anything in return."
Chaplain Dan has implemented numerous activities and programs within the community that have inspired so many to live life to the fullest each and every day. One very specific group that Dan frequently focuses on is veterans. He ensures that veterans are recognized and thanked for their service and sacrifice. He has performed over 50 veteran pinning ceremonies for veterans throughout the years. With his words and salute, patients that normally don't speak or interact have been seen returning a salute and a tear.
"Chaplain Dan has shown us all through his love and commitment to the senior population, that a legacy is to be lived and not just left," continued Davis.
