Epprecht Honored With Life Improved Award

At United Helpers we are in the business of helping others, but for some employees helping other people is more than just their job.

Program Manager Lauren Peters with
Tucker Epprecht

Tucker Epprecht is one of those employees and it's his dedication to our Life Improved mantra that led to his selection as one of our Life Improved Award winners for the summer of 2016.

Mr. Epprecht was nominated for the honor by Summer Storie, a fellow DSP at the High St. IRA in Morristown.

"Tucker often comes in on his days off to take residents on outings that otherwise would not happen," Ms. Storie said, noting he's been known to assist community members in need while on those outings.

"While out in the community he will stop what he's doing to help someone else in need, even if it's just to assist with the most simplest of things," she said.

Mr. Epprecht also possesses a sense of humor that makes working with him more than just another day at the office, she said. "Tucker makes everyone laugh, and he is always willing to help out a co-worker whether it's swithcing time off or even just working shifts for people."

Perhaps it's that sense of humor that has helped him build a rapport with the families of High Street's residents, many of whom will ask for him by name when calling to check on their loved ones.

"Tucker is always willing to talk with our residents' families, and even has families ask for him personally," Ms. Storie said.
