We are seeking compassionate, friendly, patient, and outgoing people to join a team supporting Wanda in her own home in Millinocket. Wanda is a 67-year-old Millinocket native who has lived in her own home for 21 years. She is a friendly person who loves community activities like Beano and community suppers and loves to travel to see family and friends. She enjoys spending time in the kitchen assisting with food prep but would love to meet people who love to cook and help her explore new healthy recipes. Puzzles and crafting are also of great interest. Wanda would love to work with support staff who share those interests to join her team. Maintaining and increasing her independence is very important to Wanda. She takes great pride in doing things on her own, but will ask for help when she needs it.
