OUR STAFF

The staff of Adult Life Programs is what sets us apart as a quality organization, and they work diligently to provide a safe, fun-loving, therapeutic environment. The low participant-to-staff ratio (6:1 at Adult Day Health Center and 8:1 at Adult Day Care Centers) provides one-on-one attention as needed, and allows staff to learn and celebrate participants' interests, hobbies, skills and needs.

Adult Life Program staff experience high levels of training in the following areas:CPR, First Aid, blood borne pathogens, medication administration, confidentiality and HIPAA privacy laws, patient transfers, fire safety, cultural diversity, defensive driving, client rights, person-centered planning, person-centered thinking, elder abuse, environmental safety, therapeutic boundaries, Alzheimer’s disease and introduction to mental health.

​

In addition, individual staff members are trained in their specific areas of interest. For example, some staff are trained in "TimeSlips" (visit www.timeslips.org for more information), a nationally recognized small group storytelling process designed for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. This type of training is encouraged to develop their personal interests and talents to enhance our centers’ environments.
