Why Assisted Living Facility Training Videos Are a Must for Your Team

Training new staff on the appropriate procedures, processes, and even things like maintenance and cleaning of an assisted living facility is important to ensure the success of the facility and the safety of the elders and seniors living in the location. There is a wide range of training methods and programs that may work well for some people but not as well for others. But video has the power to change that! In fact, assisted living facility training videos are a must for your team, and we’re discussing why.

Training that Accommodates ALL Learning Styles

One of the most valuable elements of assisted living facility training videos is the fact that they accommodate all learning styles allow you to teach a diverse group of individuals with a single training session. For example, some employees or staff members may learn very easily with a written work book or training manual. They may even retain upwards of 50 or even 75% of the material that they read. In that case, a standard training manual may be great for the individual, but what about the staff member that is ESOL, and doesn’t speak English as his or her first language.? This individual may retain less than 30% of what they read or they may struggle to read the manual and decide not to read it at all in which case they will retain NONE of the information. 

Likewise, an assisted living facility training video has the power to deliver advanced training to the individual in a format that they are likely to retain upwards of 90%. Even those who can’t read well, speak English as a second language, or otherwise would have struggled to read and understand an entire training manual will benefit from assisted living facility training videos. These videos use various media to help people better understand the content.  

More Information in Less Time

Assisted living facility training requires the delivery of extensive amounts of information in a short period of time. You need your staff to be fully trained on safety, health hazards, and a wide range of facilities represented concepts that will keep your senior clients, their family members, and your staff and community safe and appropriately cared for. With so much information to deliver, doing so with in-person training, staff training manuals, or various other forms of offered training may take up more time than you and your team have to acquire these skills. 

There’s time to coordinate the training. Time to bring everyone together in one location for the training. Time to hire a professional to deliver the training. And the time that the actual training Is delivered. Likewise, the use of assisted living facility training videos provides audible, visual, and graphical training representations of complex subjects in a fraction of the time. Video improves conceptual understanding and allows for various complex 

topics to be better covered for clients – with ease. 

If your team isn’t already using assisted living facility training videos to their advantage, there’s a chance that your team members are missing out on much of the educational support being offered by your assisted living business — and this could lead to significant problems for your business later on as staff is unaware of how to appropriately operate, keep visitors and residents safe, or otherwise appropriately function within the facility. 

Assisted living facility training videos provide short, bursts of training to prospects while offering engagement opportunities above and beyond the standard written training manual.
