Cindy Heilman, Kind Dining Training

Can you honestly recommend your assisted living community to friends who are looking for a job?

If you know they are naturally thoughtful, caring, and considerate, and would look forward to training and education sessions to hone their skills, would you alert them to position openings?

Do you know if they are good listeners, and communicators, and enjoy interaction with the older adult population?

These are skills just as important as knowing how to serve a proper meal, clear a table, and deliver room service meals with all the condiments, along with a cheerful smile and kind words.

Are they well-groomed, have integrity, and respect for a Code of Ethics?

Would any of your friends realize that teamwork is involved and that the team becomes an on-the-job family that supports each other as the company also does?

Could they handle flexible hours and schedules if necessary?

Are they aware that the residents of today are more sophisticated and worldly than generations past?

That they come from various ethnic backgrounds, bringing vast experiences with them? Do your friends display empathy for others?

Have you ever told them that you are a skilled professional with finely honed skills that encompass many avenues?

Can you honestly recommend your company as one that invests in its employees with excellent training and has ongoing educational meetings?

During those meetings can you participate and offer ideas, suggestions, and discussion?

Can you tell your friends that you are supported in your efforts, offered guidance, and recognized for your unique talents?

Can you say that the wages are competitive with other communities?

How about rewards, recognition, and benefits?

Are they offered?

Does the company offer schedule flexibility?

Is there a 401k plan for full-time employees?

Would they receive vacation, holiday, and sick pay?

Do full-time staff receive medical benefits? Are your company’s values clearly stated?

Is your community one they would love to work in?

And a company they would come to love working for?
