Staffing and Training

Part A: Staffing: (20 marks)

  Shamrock Long Term Care Center Dietary Department is in the midst of change.  Due to a rebuild of the Long Term Care Centre, the department will require modification.  Presently all the residents eat their meal in one Dining Room that is “fed” from a centralized kitchen.  The rebuild will have 3 serveries/dining rooms with 30 residents in each dining room with a centralized kitchen.

The present staffing schedule is as follows:

Cooks- 15 hour per day

One shift 6AM – 2PM

One shift 10AM- 6:00PM

Dietary Aides- 21 hours per day

One shift 6AM- 2PM

One shift 11AM-7PM

One shift 8AM-2PM

The dining rooms are in separate areas of the Home, therefore the kitchen will provide a decentralized meal service.

Rough work (must be included in assignment):

1.      Create a staffing schedule for one day (shifts) using the minimum provided allotted hours from the LTC Standards (0.45hr/day). Note: Dietary/cook duties include setting up the tables in the dining room; plating the meals and clearing the tables.

2.      State your reasons for the proposed staffing schedule; including any changes to shift   times/lengths. Give a brief overview of each shifts’ responsibilities.

Formal report:

1. You must present this proposal, in a formal document, to Senior Management as well as the Union. Be concise, detailed and persuasive. Be clear in your reasoning. Include pertinent calculations for their reference.
