Home Attendant Care would like to announce the addition of two new case managers to their organization.  Mandana Shoustari and Toma Moran both started with the company earlier this summer as Whatcom area Case Managers and are recent graduates of Western Washington University with degrees in psychology and sociology.  Toma has been accepted to the University of Washington’s Masters in Social Work program and will be able to continue her education while working with Home Attendant Care.  Mandana and Toma both gained valuable life experience working in fields of education and health care before deciding to return to college and obtain their degrees.  Their combination of education and life experiences will serve as a great foundation to allow them to support our clients and caregivers.  Please feel free to call or stop by our office in Bellingham to meet them and introduce yourselves.
