Staff Education
Having a stand alone Staff Educator (RN) has enabled Resthaven to continually develop 'our' people. For example: All staff attend a variety of compulsory education sessions through the year ranging from Residents rights and basic cares through to infection control and manual handling. All Health Care Assistants have either completed or are completing appropriate qualification from CareerForce (or equivalent).
All staff (HCAs and RNs) who work in our Dementia Unit have completed (or are completing) appropriate dementia modules. Our Registered Nurses engage in a variety of education sessions internally, in the community and at WDHB to ensure best practice. Our therapy team attend external support group and conferences.
Board
The Board of Trustees are appointed from the local Community Service groups, e.g.: Lions Club, Rotary Club, Returned Services Association, Federated Farmers, Country Women's Institute & Waipa District Council.
