Overview on the Types of Professionals on Our Staff and Their Training

In our assisted living community, we have a range of professionals dedicated to providing top-notch care to our residents. Our Resident Care Director/Nurse oversees all aspects of Assisted Living (AL). She is supported by a Resident Care Coordinator who helps with scheduling and also assists on the floor. Additionally, we have QMAPs (Qualified Medication Administration Personnel) who are responsible for passing medications, and caregivers who take care of all Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) for residents, offering support with normal care. All staff members undergo training and shadow experienced staff members before working independently on the floor.

Resources and Support Services for Transitioning Residents
