When working with our resident population, you may on occasion be exposed to certain risks related to medical conditions or progressive diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. These risks include communicable diseases as well as agitation and/or aggressive behaviors which may be verbal or physical. Because you are working so closely with the resident, you may be the target of this aggression. Understanding that these behaviors are related to a medical condition and/or disease process and are not in any way personal, is key to maintaining dignity and respect for our residents in all avenues of care. Benchmark is committed to workplace safety, and to the extent there is any concern relating to safety hazards in the performance of the job, you should immediately report your concerns as directed in the Employee Handbook.
