How to manage an assisted living facility, is the same thing as how to license
a residential care, or assisted living business. If you want to get into
the business you need to know how to start an assisted living business and learn
to manage the day-to-day business operations. Many entrepreneurs like managing
a care facility and started their board and care home as a 6-bed care home,
in their private home. They often needed help with getting the assisted
living license. Making revenue, quality care, and risk management should
be part of the help you get when getting a residential care license. Consultants
can help with the licensing process. ALF administrators can get help from RCFE
administrator training, recertification classes, administrator certification
class, and organizations like NCAL, ALFA, Briggs, HCPro, ASHSA, AOA, Ombudsman,
Long term Care, Medicare and HUD. It is easier to run a business when
you have good management Forms, Policies, Procedures, and a great RCFE Administrator
to handle business operations. It is important they use best practices.
ARF Administrators are always in demand at places like Brookdale, Assisted
Living Concepts, Department of Aging, Manor Care, Emeritus, Aegis, Assisted
living online, online training for administrators and care home management websites. Administrators
and facility managers of senior and elderly care facilities find it is a 24-hour
day to manage a care facility, assisted living community, or continuing life
care community.
The technical support unit of community care licensing has some helpful documents. The
website also lists resources such as Administrator classes, training for dementia
care, training for medication handling, nursing training, residential care employee
management, and Inservices. In-services is the name given to weekly training
and review meetings and RCF staff meetings. These meetings should go over
the ALF Admission process. ProvidersWeb focuses on Alzheimer’s care,
steps to get a community care license, resident care, care of residents, patient
care plans, decubitus prevention, bedsore prevention, and emergency care training. Places
like ALFA, NCAL may have some Alzheimers care training. In California there
are associations like Assisted Living University, Community Care Options, Community
Ed, RCFE Academy and Assisted Living Academy with online training programs.

Increasing
Revenue Through Employee Recognition
by Diane Morrow,
LNHA
Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Homes, small 6-bed residential
care homes for the elderly, developmentally disabled or mentally
ill, nursing homes and large assisted living facilities all need
to keep their good employees. Staff turnover is costly and dissatisfied
discharged employees can harm your reputation. Besides happy employees
bring in business and help retain residents. Happy employees make
the residents happier.
Employers should develop Employee
Recognition Policies that
are sincere and equally
applied to everyone.
These written recognition policies should be simple, clear, immediate
(most of the time) and should reinforce positive behaviors and
work attitudes.

Services' Office

of those 75+ years
is estimated to grow by 3.8 million by the year 2015. The
current 9.6%
penetration rate
implies demand growth of 45,000 more senior care units per year.
This means we need 45,000 more beds a year!

Hosting A Lucky Day
Keeping the positive energy flowing when staff has a difficult
job and residents
have medical problems
can be a challenge. In each assisted living community, supportive
housing complex, residential care facility for the elderly, mentally
ill or developmentally disabled, we can inspire a little happiness
by hosting a Lucky
Day in the month of March.
In the West St. Patrick's Day is associated with luck, leprechauns,
and four leaf clovers. We Wear Green. We serve a meal of Irish
Stew or Corned Beef and Cabbage and if we are lucky we get served
Irish Coffee (without the Whiskey of course), garnished with Whipped
Cream. With all that luck running around it is a great time to
host a Lucky Day. A Lucky Day can uplift people’s spirits,
and bring a “bit o luck” into community environment.

Remember Write it Right:
“Not documented, not done” is the rule of thumb when
providing care. Forms, written policies, procedures,
care documentation, and written proof of training are
standard requirements for all care facilities. Better documentation
would prevent a lot of facilities from getting sued. |
