Meet Hanna Barnett of Home Helpers, an ‘Exceptional Caregiver’

Home Helpers Home Care is pleased to introduce its third ‘Exceptional Caregiver’ of this year – Hanna Barnett Hannah explains that helping others has always played an important role in her life.

“Since a very young age, I’ve always loved to help people and knew that I wanted a job in healthcare when old enough. Lucky for me, the opportunity arrived early and in high school, I was able to obtain an aide license.”

Hanna Barnett

“Fast forward over eight years later, I’m still doing what I love. Healthcare, in general, has taught me a range of life skills, but seeing seniors’ flourish is what brings me the most joy. Home Helpers has allowed me to see clients in their homes where they smile brighter and I can help them with their care needs.”

For the 10th consecutive year, Home Helpers of Georgia and Alabama, based here in Newnan, has earned the recognition as a 2023 Best of Home Care – Provider of Choice Award winner. The Best of Home Care – Provider of Choice Award is based on client satisfaction ratings collected from telephone interviews performed by HCP.
