Who you are working with
Nurses, schedulers, trainers and coordinators
Between them, this team writes the care plans, matches aides to families, runs the training classes at Caring Hands Academy, and keeps two offices answering the phone every day of the year. Most have been doing this work for a long time, and most of them you will speak to by name.
