Agency Owner
Able Care, LLC
01.2020 - 10.2024
- I was previously the owner of Able Care, LLC! After working with my client for 2 years, I chose to purchase the agency in which he was a client for. I managed my client’s support plans and goals. I had state regulations I was required to follow to maintain my business as well as managing my employees and making sure all of their certifications are current. I have experience completing payroll and courses required to hold my position. I also made a lot of professional phone calls, attended meetings, went through audits and held staff meetings. I had a contract with Medicaid and Agency for Persons with Disabilities that allowed me to provide these services. I have since relocated back to Massachusetts and chose to dissolve my agency.
