New Beginnings

I have been working as a temporary manager in assisted living facilities now for 2 months. This is an area I have not worked in previously. This has been a very good experience for me. I am not trying to say it is easier it is just different. Assisted living presents a different type of challenges. It has not all been an easy start but I have discovered once again what it feels like to feel appreciated. The residents are wonderful. Long term has unfortunately changed. The residents are younger and more difficult to deal with due to over use of pain medications and mental health issues with very little support. Assisted living residents are actually older and have health issues and dementia issues but they are easier to deal with. I am looking forward to doing more of this. It is helping me to recognize and improve on my management style. I am looking forward to writing more on my blog as my new career continues to develop.
