Assisted Living Today targets assisted living facilities and employees who provide short-term or long-term relief to family members of patients that cannot live on their own. Residents of assisted living facilities receive assistance with daily living activities such as bathing, grooming, dressing, housekeeping, laundry, eating, walking, and more. They generally provide recreational programs that encourage patients to keep motivated in creative ways. Residents of these facilities are varied ages from children to adults to seniors.
The patients’ level of care is assessed and evaluated by a team of healthcare professionals.
Patients receive a variety of medical services which include physical, occupational, rehabilitative therapies, and speech therapy. They are staffed by registered nurses (RN’s), licensed practical nurses (LPN’s), physicians, nursing assistants, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, physical therapists, and more.

Healthcare professionals must express a high degree of empathy for others. In addition to medical and healthcare knowledge, they must also be strong in communication, leadership, organized, detail oriented, and critical thinking. Some medical service providers may work to promote general health by educating the public on warning signs and symptoms of health related problems.
These healthcare professionals are required to attend continuing education classes to maintain their certification, depending on where they practice. Many also belong to professional organizations to maintain professional credentials.
These seasoned professionals embrace healthcare with diversity, equity, and try to achieve a work/life balance. They look to achieve a deeper knowledge in their field. Also by using career advancement resources such as online continuing education or certificate programs, social networking sites to make personal and professional connections, attending trade shows, and networking at industry events, these professionals achieve a deeper knowledge in their field.
This list is ideal for any medical or health care industry continuing education courses, medical supplies, business publications, office supply catalogs, uniform catalogs, insurance, and credit card offers. |
