Pros
Case managers and supervisors are supportive of the people they serve.
They are knowledgeable and advocate very well.
Cons
Higher up leadership have lost their empathy and gaslight staff to thinking they’re wrong by voicing their opinions .
Most have never worked with this population.
I was so anxious that I was going to be late for a meeting or get written up for the littlest thing.
Speaking of getting written up, CCSs are getting discipline if they don’t document that exact same day. So if a CCS is trying to be person centered and has a 7 pm meeting, if they don’t put in the note that night they get written up. Even if they do it the next morning.
SCI bit off more than they can chew, they hired too many 6-figure salaries, and have become very top heavy. If only they understood the reason they were popular was not advertising it was the success of their case managers. And If the data people were helpful, why do supervisors still have to update like 7 spreadsheets a month?
