K Dear CKV Nursing Team: At Cross Keys Village we are committed to our Mission, the quality of care we provide our residents, and being good stewards of our resources, time and the talent of our team members. Keeping this in mind, we continually look at ways to enhance the exceptional service we currently provide our residents, while looking at ways in supporting our team members’ to show compassion, share a positive attitude, be respectful and work together. Over the past year, we reduced our resident census in health care to more closely align to the current staffing levels, while continuing to keep our PPD at a level higher then industry average. This was purposely done to ensure our team members are able to provide the high quality of care and service that CKV has been proud of for many years. However, this decision comes with some financial impact. Since sustainability is critical in today’s turbulent health care environment, one step we can take with the current census that would maintain both quality of care and effective staffing levels is to transition a few South Mountain B hall residents to open rooms on other halls or other neighborhoods. This allows us to be better stewards of our resources while also providing the compassionate care that our residents deserve. Consolidating open rooms in one place on B hall and congregating a few residents in rooms closer together will help our team members in providing care and services. In the days ahead, we will be communicating these plans to our residents and their families. Then, we will begin the transition process. As a team, we wanted you to be aware of what is happening and why it is happening. Your commitment to our residents and their care is what makes Cross Keys Village a desirable and welcoming place for residents and their families. We know that during times of change, you ease the stress of transition. Thank you for your many contributions and your ongoing work – together we make Cross Keys Village a vibrant and joyful community. As always, if you should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your manager or to me. Thank you again for your commitment to our community! Sincerely, Ann Starr-Loe Health Care Administrator

New Recruiter On-board

As many of you know, we at Cross Keys Village are not alone in facing a challenging employment market. Although recruiting can be a challenge even during the best of times, it requires much more attention, creativity and focus when the demand for talent is higher. With an organization of our size, employing approximately 700 team members, it has become inevitable for many reasons to add a Recruiter to our team. Please help me in welcoming Lynneah Smith, in her new Recruiter position effective April 24, 2017. Lynneah is a 2015 graduate of Millersville University and holds a BS in Speech

Communication. She is also currently obtaining her Masters Degree in Human Resource Development from McDaniel College. Prior to joining CKV, Lynneah previously worked at CKV during high school and college in Campus Dining and most recently as an Account Executive at Manpower in Hanover. Lynneah’s focus and responsibility is on recruiting, screening and placement of potential new team members for the entire CKV campus. She will be working closely with all hiring managers and Scheduling Coordinators in both Health Care and Personal Care to identify our staffing needs. In her spare time Lynneah is a Volleyball Coach for the Sacred Heart League and enjoys oil painting. Sincerely,

Kelley Mitchell Vice President of Human Resources

He alerted the staff immediately and stayed with the resident, keeping her calm, until she was returned safely back into the building.

Parking Assignments

A question has been raised as to why some leaders are permitted to park in the main parking lot of Mission Point (Cumberland Square lot). Due to our large campus and the need to quickly access all areas of campus throughout the work day, parking assignment for a few specific leaders who travel across campus frequently includes the back row of the Cumberland Square parking lot.
