Info

The collaborative effort has already produced benefits in the form of increases in job performance and job satisfaction. We expect turnover rates to decrease with an increase in overall job satisfaction. Department of Administration Classification adjusted the CNAII class specifications in order for us to temporarily move CNAI to CNAII in order for us to be consistent with the apprenticeship program design. However, over the long run this temporary solution will need to be re-examined as more and more employees fulfill the apprenticeship requirements and are eligible for a reclass from CNAI to CNAII. The Pioneer Homes long-range goal is to establish the class specifications for apprenticeships for our CAN job series. We are still hopeful the division of personnel will work on establishing the class specifications for apprenticeships in order to enable us to continue with the apprenticeship program. Preparedness Planning In the spring of 2009 we were fortunate enough to receive from the State of Alaska Emergency Preparedness Program a grant of $30,000. We purchased Evacu-chairs (for evacuating residents down stairs) and Emergency radios that have the capability of transmitting state wide. Each home and one in central office will have a radio that will be registered with the Alaska land Mobile radio communications systems. This fall we have been awarded another $30,000 to purchase emergency preparedness equipment or training. Currently, all the homes are engaged in developing their Pandemic response plan, which is required to be submitted to the Department’s Emergency Preparedness Program. 8
Safe Lifting Initiative This year the Pioneer Homes continued its involvement in the Pioneer Home Safe Lifting Initiative with consultant Michael Lary. This year Mr. Lary worked with the Ketchikan Pioneer Home training and introducing safe resident movement techniques and equipment. The Pioneer Homes spent a special amount of effort developing our Web site. If you have a chance please visit our new look at: http://www.hss.state.ak.us/dalp/ Dashboards? What else??
