Casualty & Surety of NY Partners with aQuire Training Solutions for Improved Senior Care
Online training solutions enhance staff job satisfaction, quality care and profitability.
Oregon City, OR, October 27, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Casualty & Surety of NY will join forces with aQuire Training Solutions to recommend to its insured aQuire Training’s online system of training staff for excellence in care.
Better trained staff leads to happier clients and families as well as better quality care. For a company concerned about managing risk, enhanced staff training is essential. aQuire Training’s new Caregiver Certification Course as well as over 50 additional courses will provide an outstanding level of training opportunity for Casualty & Surety of NY’s clients.
“I have recently reviewed the course” says Dave Condon, President of Casualty & Surety of NY of the Caregiver Certification Course. “It is comprehensive yet provided in an easy-to-understand presentation.”
Condon has long been an advocate of training as a way for senior care providers to manage risk. aQuire Training’s safety and emergency first aid classes are among those Condon feels are essential to good management of risk. Among the classes specifically designed to help operators manage risk is a course in preventing falls, the leading cause of injury deaths in the elderly. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one out of five hip fracture patients dies within a year of their injury (hip fractures occur in a high percentage of falls).
aQuire Training Solutions’ unique approach to teaching care providers involves a process of telling stories to help learners synthesize content, engaging them in interactive online activities, using motivational strategies to help them grasp the significance of their work, and evaluating what they have learned through online assessments.
“From our own experience as owners and operators we know that managing risk is one area that will directly affect the provider’s ability to continue to care for residents,” notes Sharon K. Brothers, MSW, President and CEO of aQuire Training Solutions. “Failing to train staff adequately, even while meeting licensing requirements, can result in unhappy clients and families, increased staff turnover and significantly increased risk of licensing violations and litigation. We’re very pleased to support Casualty & Surety of NY’s effort to help their insureds manage risk more effectively.” Brothers notes that Casualty & Surety of NY’s commitment to staff training significantly strengthens their competitive advantage as underwriters of insurance for nursing homes and assisted living communities.
