Overview of Our Staff and Training
We have a dedicated coordinating staff led by our Director of Nursing (RN), who oversees all Resident Assistant (RA) staffing. Our memory care coordinator acts as an assistant to the Director. Our Resident Assistant Staffing (caregivers) undergo an onboarding training for approximately 3 days, followed by a week of shadowing an experienced 'lead' RA. After this period, the lead RA observes them to ensure the training was effective, culminating in the RN's approval for them to work independently on the floor.
