Additional Information
I go above all to show others Im a team player. I'm a very quick learner, get along with co-workers. I love and thrive when I can work with other department heads who can at times feel like family. Sometimes that is rare, but I once had this, and I will and continue to search for that team.
I can honestly and proudly say I'm a wonderful employee and team member, I'm very proud of my work history and work ethic.
I've also been head of Safety Comity, helped set up safety protocols, and rules.
I was also working with Hospitals and families for placement. I'm also experienced in discharge planning when a Resident was ready to go home.
Once a Resident is discharge I've set up therapy to assess living conditions to make sure Resident is safe; as well as Lifeline, and Meals on Wheels if needed. I always want Residents to be as successful as possible when discharged.
