Nurse Aide
Nurse Aides are the major “hands on” care givers in the long term care facility, and should be educationally prepared to deal with the physiological problems that influence the chronically ill and aged resident. We believe that in teaching the Nurse Aide quality skills to enable a resident to reach the highest level of independence and self worth is extremely important.
