Certain staff members from the Group Home who are working with clients who may be experiencing the onset of dementia will be required to attend a special training meeting on this topic at the Group Home. If you are one of the staff members required to attend, you will be notified by your Supervisor. However, this training is open to all members of the Waiver staff as well, including those that work in the community.
The training will be held November 21st at 9:30 am at the Civitan Group Home on Hudson Street. This training is not only beneficial for client care, it will also count toward the 12 hours of annual training you are required to fulfill each year, so attendance is highly encouraged for those who usually find themselves scrambling for training hours each Spring. Attendance is also highly encouraged for anyone working with elderly clients, whether or not those clients are currently experiencing symptoms of dementia. We can never be too informed!
If you would like to attend this training but would normally be working with your client during the training time, please contact Darrell to schedule a replacement for you so that you may attend. As always, thank you for working together to improve our education and care for our clients.
