By Staff Report-
The employee assistance program was created to support employees with needs that have arisen due to the current pandemic including childcare costs, training and personal protective equipment, according to a news release from Grace Village. The already stretched nursing and dietary staff are having to take on new and different roles to meet the care, safety and dietary guidelines established to deal with the pandemic. Nursing staff have new safety protocols to follow. These funds have enabled nine existing employees to be cross trained and certified as personal care-dietary assistants to assist the nursing staff. Twenty students have completed the CNA training program offered through Grace Village.
The Board of Grace Village thanks the Kosciusko County Community Foundation for their quick response to the changing needs of this community. Their generosity has helped lessen the impact of these changes on the lives of the 400 residents that call Grace Village home, the news release states.
The Kosciusko County Community Foundation is a public foundation established in 1968. Their mission is to bring caring people and charitable endeavors together for the good of our community. The Board Rapid Response Fund was established to enable their board of directors the flexibility to respond quickly to urgent community needs. Learn more about their impact at www.kcfoundation.org.
Grace Village is the only not-for-profit continuing care retirement community in Kosciusko County. Incorporated in 1974, Grace Village is dedicated to preserving the richness of life for seniors in a comfortable and secure Christian setting. Learn more at www.gracevillage.org.
