Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend VOYAGE Care to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I have before recommended 2 friends to work at voyage and didn't use repair a friend as I was told that the money came out of the services budget so I didn't bother
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to VOYAGE Care?
You need to be a caring person to work hear the money is not the best paid but you have opportunities to move up the ladder and your money will go up a little.its just about how you can change a residents day with a bit of kindness and help them live as independently as they can .and improve their skills .there nothing better than helping someone reach their goals
