Resident Assistant

Features · Customer Feedback · Product Samples · 2008 Topics · Pricing Info
The Resident Assistant is an exciting new program for and about Resident Assistants who work with residents in assisted living facilities. This is the only ongoing continuing education program designed to build the self-esteem and develop the professional skills of assisted living Assistants. The Resident Assistant was developed by leading experts on front-line eldercare workers and assisted living and is guided by a national advisory board.

Features

The Resident Assistant has several unique features that make it successful.

1. An advisory board of national experts in assisted living developed the idea and regularly contribute to the publication.

2. It features a high-quality newsletter for every Resident Assistant that serves as a professional journal. This sends a powerful message to RAs about their value as employees. Each issue highlights a particular topic critical to their job.

3. The facility receives a Trainer's Guide that lets Resident Services Coordinators integrate the newsletter into training activities. Each guide provides training tips, continuing education goals, a list of additional resources, and a quiz for your Assistants. Used together, these tools can help fulfill and document a facility's ongoing training requirements.

4. The Resident Assistant is written in a lively, easy-to-read style. Issues of The Resident Assistant feature an interview with a prominent expert in caring for older persons and a section called "Speaking from Experience" highlights advice and tips from The Resident Assistants themselves. A sampling of upcoming issue topics includes:

  • Improving Communication Skills
  • When a Resident Dies: Handling Grieving and Bereavement
  • Nutritional Risk and Your Residents
  • Working with Residents' Family Members


Customer Feedback

"It is a complete in-service, ready to deliver. It's very easy to use and full of helpful ideas. The aides absolutely love it! I love it too because it really cuts my workload."

- S. Thomas, Resident Services Coordinator
