Home Care Receives NC NOVA Designation
Senior Services' Home Care program has received the North Carolina New Organizational Vision Award (NC NOVA) designation. To achieve this accreditation, the Home Care program had to achieve a set of standards designed to help meet the needs of its front-line workers.
In working toward its NC NOVA certification, the Senior Services Home Care program gave its certified nursing assistants (CNAs) a more prominent voice in program decision-making, along with expanded education and training. In addition, aides new to the program were provided with mentors. Substantiating the Home Care program’s success, in addition to its new NC NOVA designation, is the fact that there has been no turnover among Senior Services’ Home Care CNAs for the past two years.
The first program of its kind in the nation, NC NOVA focuses on these hands-on caregivers because of the high turnover rate among their ranks. Its aim is to improve the workplace and thus the quality of patient care.
NC NOVA, developed by a broad-based team of healthcare providers, workers, consumers, state regulators and educators, also has as a goal ensuring that there is a supply of well-trained direct care workers sufficient to meet the need of North Carolina’s growing older population.
