MESSAGE FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
As part of our planning efforts to move the organization forward as we come out of the COVID pandemic, Sunshine Village made the difficult decision to suspend accepting any new referrals or welcoming back any more returning clients in April of 2023.
Since that time, we have worked hard to overcome the challenges presented by the workforce crisis/shortage – including investing in the organizational structure with 3 new Supervisor positions, 9 new Case Management positions and an additional member for each of the Human Resource Department and Maintenance Department teams. We have updated personnel policies, improved our buildings, enhanced our technology, increased our promotional efforts and are now working on reigniting our professional development initiatives. Unfortunately, we continue to have many open positions and we also have many employees using some type of paid leave. The Board of Directors, at the September 2023 meeting, made the decision to continue the suspension of accepting new clients and we will again revisit this decision in December of this year.
We will provide periodic updates to all of our stakeholders, including thru this e~Newsletter. We hope to share how our efforts have resulted in true progress – as we work to overcome the workforce challenges that so many businesses and organizations like Sunshine Village are facing.
We remain hopeful – knowing that the future of Sunshine Village is BRIGHT.
Thank you for your continued support of Sunshine Village!
