Long Term Care Homes (LTC) are one of the leading employer entities in the personal care industry. This type of employment location is also referred to as Nursing Home Employment
These types of properties typically have multiple clients living across multiple units, all within the same building or series of buildings.
The clientele is usually older or have a similar disability.
This type of position can be difficult upon the PSW, and requires a ‘special touch’ and outlook. This is due to the sometimes geriatric and, at times, hospice needs that arise. Relationships can be formed and inevitably broken. Of course these subjects are covered in personal support worker courses, but real world situations always differ from text-book and isolated co-op placements.
Some LTC employers get a bad rap for under-staffing. It is advised that you contact current employees of an organization and ask them about the working conditions in advance. Employees can be found via social media and particularly LinkedIn.
