WINNIPEG, MB: Bergen Gardens, a memory care and senior living facility in Winnipeg, recently completed a full wage review for its staff. Having completed the review, the company realized it was able to pay staff higher wages, both presently and on an ongoing basis. As such, it has increased the pay of staff members and adjusted its wage scale.
Working in senior care is a rewarding field, but it is not without its challenges. The challenges staff members face are multifaceted; individuals engaged in senior care and memory care show endurance, creativity, and high emotional intelligence every day.
Offering higher wages is a means of showing staff members that they are appreciated, and helps to retain the incredible talent needed to run a senior care facility to the exacting standards set out by Bergen Gardens. Higher wages also enable Bergen Gardens to seek out and hire talented new staff members who will help the facility provide even better care to its residents.
“This year, we recently completed a full wage review, and I was proud that we were able to provide significant wage increases for staff, along with an improved wage scale,” said Kim McMillan, Executive Director at Bergen Gardens. “Our staff deserve to be recognized not only in words, but in action, and we remain committed to continuing that work. The wage increases also align us with industry standards to help recruit and retain person-centred talent.”
Bergen Gardens is a state-of-the-art memory care and senior living facility in Winnipeg. Designed by architects to make the facilities as comfortable and easy to navigate as possible, with features like circadian rhythm lighting and amenities like a spa, a theatre, a wellness centre, and an art studio. Nurses dress in casual clothing to make the facility feel like home, and mouthwatering, chef-prepared meals are always available in a variety of venues around the facility.
