Took referrals from the community and hospitals for admission into our facility for various services ranging from skilled, respite stays or long-term care.

Catholic Charities

I worked with clients with IDD in a day program setting. I would work together with my clients to create a monthly calendar of activities and volunteer work we would be participating in their attendance. I acquired my CDL passenger licence in order to drive a company bus to take my clients into the community for lunch once a month at a restaurant of their choice, drive them to the YMCA for swimming and playing sports, I would also coordinate volunteer projects with local businesses that would allow my clients to gain job skills and also educate our town about the IDD community within our population. I also assisted clients with ADLs and administered their medications. It was by far the greatest opportunity I have had the pleaaure of experiencing but unfortunately I had to leave my clients when I moved to Arizona to be close to my family.
