Throughout the day, you'll communicate with clients and partner agencies, confirm appointments and resource availability, and update records to keep information current and accurate. Some days include in-county travel and transporting clients to support access to services. You'll also check in with the care team to align on progress and ensure plans remain on track, then close out the day by reconciling documentation and preparing for upcoming contacts.
