University of California Berkeley Kelsey Care Organization Management Summary

Write a 700- to 1,050-word executive summary as in which you assume the role of a case management services provider, Kelsey Care. Your service has a staff of six case managers. Your clientele are families referred through Child and Family Services after police contact. Each case manager has a caseload of 10 to 20 families at any given time. You are presenting this summary to the Board of Directors, so the focus is on the agency as a whole, not on case management. You will need to explain strategic planning and vision with the Board along with what your case managers do. In addition, you want to discuss expansion of cases and services in the future. Use the Kelsey Care Organization data set as a reference to discuss this expansion and services you provide.
