Staff Development

The primary purpose of the Staff Development Department is to direct all staff and educational programs throughout the nursing home in accordance with current Federal, State and local regulations, as well as with our facility’s policies and procedures.

High employee productivity does not happen by accident. Programs are carefully planned to meet the needs of our employees and residents. Our staff development program is the result of the conscious effort designed to enhance the work performance of our employees through its impact on knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The scope of our program includes orientation, training, and educational programs which help our employees function more effectively within our nursing home.

Our Staff Development Department also provides Licensed Nursing Assistant and Medication Nursing Assistant training. These classes are not offered at set scheduled dates or times. Classes are held when a facility need arises in order to fill positions.

We also offer a Licensed Nursing Assistant training in conjunction with the local high schools each year in the spring. This has been an excellent way to introduce interested high school students to the health care field.
