Holidays & Shifts Reminder

May being around the corner means planning ahead for those summer months. Although its is the best time for a vacation, summer does have a tendency to disrupt our daily routine. Before a trip comes up or one of the many summer holidays arrives, make sure you have arranged a schedule that works for you and your client.

Don’t forget to request time off at least two weeks in advance and coordinate with clients before contacting the office for shift changes. Memorial Day is less then a month away, kicking off vacation season, so double check you have communicated, and confirmed your days off.

MAY HOLIDAYS

Activity, Activity, Activity!

Spring is rolling in and is beginning to give us a chance to engage in all sorts of activities as the weather begins to pick up! Changing seasons are the gift that keeps on giving, it not only allows us to recharge, but it also brings the important relief of so many elderly who cannot appreciate the winter. Making plans can bring panic or feeling overwhelmed at the options, instead remember helpful resources to find local happenings.
