Overview of Types of Professionals on Our Staff and Their Training

We have a dedicated team to ensure the well-being of our residents. Below is a summary of our staff and their training:

• Three Patient Care Assistants (PCAs) on the floor for Assisted Living and Memory Care units during morning and evening hours.
• One PCA in each unit at night.
• One Medication Tech, both day and night shifts, to pass medications.
• One Resident Care Coordinator available Monday to Friday, 8 AM - 5 PM.
• AL Director (myself) with 12 years of nursing experience, available Monday to Friday, 8 AM - 5 PM. Both the Resident Care Coordinator and I are on-call at all times.

Every employee undergoes a background check and receives various in-service trainings, which include areas such as abuse/neglect, job duties, and safe transfer techniques as advised by the therapy department. Medication Techs must pass a test to assist residents with medications. I monitor employee compliance through regular performance reviews. Furthermore, all staff attend monthly online training sessions on various pertinent subjects.

• Staff report any changes in baseline condition to me, the Resident Care Coordinator, or the Medication Tech as soon as possible.
