Our Staff

Our residents enjoy the highest staff to resident ratio available, double that of our competitors which results in employee longevity. Our long-term employees therefore have the opportunity to become familiar with the unique needs of each of our residents so they are able to bond insuring the best care possible.

AlzCare provides over 24 hours of training to the staff each year which is twice the state requirement.

At AlzCare we look for people with heart and compassion. Individuals begin their career with AlzCare as temporary staff(PRN). We do not start our caregivers off at full time because we feel that both the residents, fellow caregivers and management need to see them as part of the AlzCare family before we ask them to work full time. Furthermore, PRN’s allow AlzCare to maintain a high staffing ratio during times of vacations and illnesses for the regular staff. This insures better relationships between both our staff and our residents. This is a win-win situation for everyone.

Our caregivers also meet regularly to discuss the care of the residents. A staff member from each shift meets between shifts to discuss the residents needs. Furthermore, team members discuss options for improvements in resident care, revised assessments, care planning all the while maintaining consistent communication with the manager and the nurse.

All caregivers at AlzCare learn to recognize subtle changes in residents’ condition. Our staff longevity enables the staff to gain an intimate knowledge of their residents’ personal habits and characteristics, much like a mother would notice faint changes in their child. This enables them to spot changes quickly as they arise. Many health problems when detected early can be managed by their physician enabling them to continue to function independently, and live in more comfort.
