The Baby Boomers are now reaching the age at which they need supplemental or residental medical care, and they're bringing a whole new set of expectations and concerns to the field of long term care. Things like social connectedness, emotional support, and continuing education are important values to boomers, and the current culture in long term care needs to adjust to encompass these values. Care positions most affected by this change are Social Service Designees and Activity Directors, the people responsible for addressing the psychosocial needs of residents.
Due to the surge in numbers of people needing care,
Activity Directors and
Social Service Designees are in demand, especially those with recent training to address the current market needs. If you have ever considered working in this field, or want to make sure your skills are current to meet demand, check out We Care Online's affordable monthly online classes!
