I worked for Ozark Adult Personal Care as a Targeted Case Manager for almost 6 years before it was bought out by A First Name Basis Home Care. When A First Name Basis bought out Ozark Adult Personal Care, I was quickly promoted to Care Manager for my location. Approximately one year later I was promoted to North Arkansas Area Manager where I then managed three offices along with the Care Mangers of those offices.
