2020-09-10 06:43:22 PM lisacomstock that would be nice yo see direct care givers actively involved in planning for resident. maybe if they got rid of some higher ups and make financial room for dcc because to do that would mean less patients/residents?

2020-09-10 06:45:09 PM melaniekohler0122 Currently I am the director now without the title and pay and knowledge :}
