Our Training Process

Step 1: Full Skills Orientation & Dementia Training

The first thing we do when we hire new employees is take them through our specialized training program which:

• Familiarizes caregivers to our values by showing them how important their role is in our family.
• Provides in-depth and in-person Dementia training, including knowledge of the different types of Dementia (Alzheimer's, Dementia with Lewy Bodies, Vascular Dementia, Fronto-Temporal Dementia, Wernicke-Korsakoff, Huntington’s, and Parkinson’s Dementia).
• Teaches them how to manage specific Dementia symptoms and use redirection techniques sucessfully.
• Equips caregivers with tools to do amazing work with our residents and treat each one as an adult who deserves meaning and value in their life.
• Teaches them how to engage their residents in therapeutic activities that improves their quality of life and can be used as a great redirection technique.

Step 2: One-On-One Training with Our Recreation Therapist

Every single one of our caregivers works closely with our Recreational Therapist to be well versed in the personalized care plan, schedule, and health needs of each client prior to starting care. This provides customized service for all of our residents.

Step 3: Required Ongoing Monthly Training

We require that our caregivers attend monthly trainings to ensure that our work is constantly improving. Each month, our caregivers receive trainings on subjects like:

• Redirection Techniques
• Bathing Clients with Dementia
• Emergency Procedures
• How to Handle Difficult Behaviors
• Dealing with Delusions and Hallucinations
