The company has grown since then, currently employing 50 caregivers and providing about 1,000 hours of care per week for their clients who reside in Central Kansas. This year they are recognizing four caregivers for perfect attendance for the past 12 months. They are Susan Kahn, Rayletta Ratzlaff, Shalee Enabnit, and Misty Harding-Zerkel. Caregivers of the Year are Kelsey Rookstool and Peter Settle.<\/p>\n
