Although Sharon was working as a caregiver, she was missing the verifiable training that the Arkansas State Senate mandated for direct care workers that became effective April 2014. Sharon wanted to obtain her training from a qualified caregiver training program and the Schmieding Home Caregiver Training Program was suggested by her employer.<\/p>\n
Sharon began her journey with the Schmieding training program by attending a general information session which included a tour of our facility. Initially, she registered for the In Home Assistant 40 hour course, but Sharon states, \u201cI was so impressed by the compassion and professionalism shown by the instructors during the first course that I decided to complete the entire certified program.\u201d Upon completion, she received our Geriatric Home Caregiver Certificate which verified that she had completed 116 hours of certified caregiver training.<\/p>\n
Her decision to participate in all three courses did not come without sacrifice; Sharon had to work evenings or nights so that she could continue to have an income during the five week program! Each day Sharon presented to class on time, professionally attired in scrubs, and with positive disposition. Sharon was a support to her younger colleagues and served as an example of professionalism in attitude and attire.<\/p>\n
Since completing our program, Sharon has worked steadily and quite successfully. The owner of her home care agency speaks very highly of Sharon\u2019s ability to provide skillful and compassionate care to every client regardless of their condition. He states, \u201cThere was one case in which Sharon\u2019s care made ALL<\/strong> the difference. She\u2019s great.\u201d In fact, Sharon was just selected as her agency\u2019s Employee of the Year!<\/p>\n The staff of the Schmieding Home Caregiver Training Program-Little Rock will remember Sharon\u2019s professionalism, compassion, positive attitude, and her gentle kindness toward others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although Sharon was working as a caregiver, she was missing the verifiable training that the Arkansas State Senate mandated for direct care workers that became effective April 2014.
