Employment and Training

We realize that without our employees we cannot fulfill our mission to our residents, their families, or our communities.  Our mission to our residents is to provide a superior quality home-like environment for them and our guests while affording peace of mind to their families and friends.  To fulfill this mission we know we must invest in one of our most important assets - our employees.  We want to foster a culture that promotes learning, growing and innovation for our employees.

Health Support Specialist Federal Apprenticeship Program

Because we value our employees, and believe in life-long learning, Country Place Living has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Department of Labor to participate in the Health Support Specialist (HSS) Federal Apprenticeship Program.  To make this possible, the staff of North Central Kansas Technical College will be administering this apprenticeship and has offered a number of scholarships to Country Place Living to put our employees and our franchisee's employees through the program.

The Health Support Specialist Federal Apprenticeship Program will guide Country Place Living employees through a multi-layer education program for a certification in the following areas:

Multi-layer Education Programs:

Medical Terminology I

Environmental Services/OSHA 

Medical Terminology II 

Dietary/Serv-Saf 

Dementia Care 

Person Centered Care

CPR/First Aid

Activity Assistant

Certified Nurse Aide

Rehabilitative/Restorative Aide

Certified Medication Aide

In efforts to make the apprenticeship program easily accessible to all employees, the program will be offered on an on-line basis with a computer in each Country Place Living residence allowing employees in the program to work on coursework before or after their respective shifts.  Additionally, local level coordination for the required clinical study will also be available.
