Testimonials from Employees Attending College:
“Working for Apex Home Care over the last year and a half, while attending nursing school at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, has been a wonderful experience. The staff has been great in being flexible and accommodating to my school schedule. They understand the importance of education and provide a work experience that also creates a learning environment. I will be starting my senior year in the Fall in the nursing program and will continue to work with the agency until graduation. I recommend this job for anyone attending nursing school as it not only fits your schedule, but you can take something away from this experience as well.”

“As a recent graduate of Holyoke Community College, Class of 2006, working for Apex Home Care is the place to work while attending school. I have worked here for 2+ years, primarily in the office, but I also worked in the field for a year and a half. The staff is great and understanding as they know being a student is a job in itself. The office is very flexible in trying to accommodate to your schedule because we know it is chaotic to balance both school and work and have little stress. Working for the agency and going to school worked best for me because Apex values their workers, education, and being flexible to working around your schedule. It is a great opportunity to have a job in the field, while attending school, and the experience you will gain will stay with you as continue to pursue your careers.”
