"Coffee with Caregivers" Spring Job Fair

According to PR Daily , a publisher of corporate communications, employees make effective brand ambassadors and can boost trust, engagement, and reputation of a company.

Leads that are generated from employees can convert up to seven times more than other leads. This includes attracting great people to join the company.

With that in mind, do you know anyone who would make a great caregiver?

Invite them to our spring "Coffee with Caregivers" job fair, taking place in the front space of the Midwest Family Care office building, on Tuesday, April 23 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Job hunters can m eet with recruiters, learn about the company, interview on-site, and have coffee and treats on us at the "Midwest Family Care Cafe."

Tell your friends and family —and qualify for up to $100 in referral bonuses!

Caregiver Updates and Reminders

April updates from Midwest Family Care LPN Michele Klee:

Influenza : Just so you know, the FLU season is NOT over yet. A second strand is moving across the US and will last until the end of April, possibly into May.

I just wanted to give you guys some quick figures as of April 8, 2019. Those of you who have been through my training classes know I like to update weekly with Wisconsin deaths. Year-to-date, we are at:

  • Ages 0-17: 8
  • Ages 18-64: 300
  • Ages 65+: 1,502

If you are interested in checking flu facts yourself, you can visit www.dhs.wisconsin.gov

Reminders: If there are medication administration sheets in your clients' homes, please sign off on any medications you give. Also, if there are NARCOTICS, you must count and record them on the NARC SHEET. This is the law!

Additionally, if you feel something is wrong with your client, please call me or text me. DO NOT think the next shift person will do it. IF IT'S AN EMERGENCY, then call 911.
