Professionals caring for our residents & homes
All our caregivers are either Certified Medication Aides (CMAs) or Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) licensed by the State of Kansas.
The aides working in your loved one’s home help with what healthcare professionals call Activities of Daily Living, or ADLs. Put differently, they assist residents with daily self-care, including showering, grooming, dressing, toileting and moving safely about.
CMAs also administer prescribed medications according to residents’ care plans and state regulations.
Yet our caregivers are more than healthcare workers. At Care Haven, they’re “Home MAKERS” — in other words, they play a critical role in creating the warm, comforting environment essential to our families. They produce fresh scents, delicious meals and well-kept surroundings. Then they work hard to keep the setting safe and comfortable, not scary or perplexing.
Formally, our caregivers’ duties include
- Interacting with each resident
- Encouraging individual and group activities
- Preparing meals according to menu plans
- Keeping homes clean, orderly, organized and safe
- Maintaining positive relationships with visiting family members
