I enjoy working at West Fork Services because I receive experience and enjoy my co-workers and the staff is helpful when I have a question or concern related to work. My supported community living staff has helped me with cooking and that has enabled me to make recipes independently. My staff has also helped me with financial concerns and other issues I have experienced that I may not have been able to resolve independently.
