It’s incredibly hard to put into words the gratitude I have for Susie and Susan. I’ve had the pleasure of being employed with HCA on and off since 2012. I say “on and off” because they’ve always given … More me the flexibility to work part-time when needed and full-time when needed, which truly made life, stability, and personal growth possible for me.
Over the years, I’ve gained so much valuable experience as a personal caregiver and have had opportunities I never would have imagined while caring for such wonderful clients. Susie genuinely cares about her employees. She is kind, generous, supportive, and incredibly down-to-earth.
The opportunities for growth within the company are immense. I personally started as an hourly caregiver and live-in caregiver, then had the opportunity to become a care manager. Now, I have the privilege of supporting clients, caregivers, and care managers in my role as a transitional care coordinator.
I will always be grateful to Susie for helping support my daughter and me through so many stages of life since I was 21 years old. Thank you for every opportunity, every lesson, and all the knowledge you’ve shared with me over the years. I truly credit you for so many of my successes.
Most importantly, thank you for allowing me the honor of loving and caring for our clients. -
I’ve been with HCA for several years, and I find them most helpful in every way.
