I've been working closely with the previous manager to learn everything I can in the event something like this happened. I'm going to be working with the regional manager today and will probably ask about applying for and training into the position.
Wish me luck and send those prayers my way please! Love y'all!
EDIT: Thank you for all the positive words and encouragement! I did literally 90% of the work today and proved I can do it, and me and the regional were talking about what online courses I'll have coming up to move forward in this direction. I am definitely on track to take over here! GOD IS GOOD EVERYONE!
Thank you, much appreciated. Something will turn up I'm looking at either qualified service provider and working with the elderly, or a friend has been trying to hire me out from under my job for a couple years now, the hours just never worked with my schedule so we shall see.
