Ensuring Our Caregivers and Equipped and Ready
We want every caregiver to be equipped and ready before meeting their first client. We are always modifying our onboarding training to be more robust and meet the needs of our current clients. Alternative Senior Care held an initial training on Wednesday for three new employees joining our team. Along with online training and job shadowing, each new employee spends the day with our office staff and has hands on practical training in an interactive workshop style class with Bethany Knutson, our Personal Assistant Coordinator. Topics include, caregiving tasks, professionalism, emergency preparedness, boundaries and much more. Each new hire can ask specific questions as well hands on help with client care and technology. We offer paid training up and above our licensing requirements. Ongoing training throughout the year is offered in specialties such as: Dementia, Mental Health Wellness, and Hospice Companionship.
Lainie recalled her favorite subject in school was Home Economics,
“I always loved cooking, cleaning, organizing the home, and caregiving; all the things we do best at Alternative Senior Care!”
"I’ve learned a lot from my experiences for the past 30 years, caregiving for seniors, children and family members. Being a part of Alternative Senior Care is a privilege for me because I feel every day is an opportunity to find ways to bless others, especially in my own community. Overseeing our day-to-day operations at Alternative Senior Care, allows me to make sure our values and mission statement is implemented in all that we do to make each client feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. “
