The Administrator stated he wrote the appointment down for the wrong day (2/24/22 instead of 2/14/22), even though C1’s Service Coordinator sent a reminder email on 2/3/22 indicating the appointment was scheduled for 2/14/22 at 2:30pm. On 2/15/22, the Service Coordinator said they would reach out to schedule another appointment.
