Enhancing Staff Retention in Person-Centered Care Environments for Older Adults
How to Create and Implement a Comprehensive Orientation Program
About this book
"Janine Lange deftly describes an invaluable process that can contribute greatly to building and sustaining a culture of care." —
Stephen Long, Ph.D., author of
Caring for People with Challenging Behaviors, Second Edition
"This book is greatly needed. Lange provides practical information that can be easily implemented with any facility." — Gayle Doll, Director, Center on Aging, Kansas State University
High employee turnover is one of the greatest challenges facing long-term care communities today. Without consistent staffing, care communities and their residents suffer the consequences of inadequate care, unnecessary expenses, and inefficient operations. Enhancing Staff Retention in Person-Centered Care Environment for Older Adults outlines how long-term care administrators can reverse this pattern of damaging outcomes by developing, implementing, and maintaining an effective orientation program for all levels of staff.
Author Janine Lange, a clinical nurse educator, has standardized new employee orientation programs in many long-term care communities, and she brings her experience and knowledge to this guide. Simplifying the otherwise daunting task of creating and implementing an orientation program, this step-by-step resource walks readers through the entire process, from defining the culture of a community to establishing an organization's needs to skills testing and the evaluation process, and more.
Many helpful tools accompany this text, including:
• Conversation starters and other communication techniques to enhance staff and resident interactions • Summary lists of key points for each step of the orientation process • 18 sample agendas, forms, and checklists, both in the book and available for download as PDFs
This critical resource for long-term care administrators and all staff involved with training will assist organizations in fostering a competent and well-trained team of caregivers who demonstrate a lasting dedication to the well-being of older adults.
