And I truly appreciate that each of them has asked me what I am comfortable with and put effort into introducing me to clients before assigning me shifts.
[The case management team is] so compassionate and understanding. They take the time to train you on the particulars of a case and will put you at ease at a client introduction. Each case manager communicates carefully and is invested in your success.”
