About Us

Fundamental strives to create a caring work environment that supports growth and encourages personal success.

As a leading provider in the business of caring for people, we recognize that this philosophy must also extend beyond our patients to include our staff. The people who work tirelessly everyday to make our mission a reality are our most valuable asset. To that end, Fundamental strives to create a caring work environment that supports growth and encourages personal success.

Our commitment to our employees is evidenced by the multitude of support programs designed to enhance the experiences of both patients and employees. We understand that our caregivers can make a world of difference in the lives of our patients and their families. We want our team to be as skilled and motivated as possible in order to create a positive experience for each person associated with our healthcare centers.

As a result, we have invested heavily in programs that promote quality care by supporting staff. This means continuous educational opportunities and training, management tools, and career development programs. Some of these programs are highlighted below:

Acuity-Based Staffing (ABS):

An automated program that helps the healthcare center assign the appropriate number and mix of professional nursing staff and aides. Based on the MDS and RUGs, Acuity-Based Staffing looks at the acuity level of each patients and produces a corresponding staffing recommendation of RNs, LPNs, and CNAs for the unit.

TeamWorks:

A program designed to offer leadership training for Department Heads, assisting with supervisory skill building, teamwork development, and performance improvement. Hospice of Fundamental relies on the combined knowledge of a highly experience, diverse, empathetic team of professionals, which include:

CareWorks:

A career development program for Certified Nursing Assistants to increase skill levels and provide opportunities for professional growth.

BRIDGE Mentoring:

A mentoring program designed to assist the newly hired CNA. This program identifies accomplished CNAs to act as preceptors to new staff, assisting with the period of adjustment to the facility.

QuickStart:

An orientation program developed for various facility employees including Directors of Nursing, Nurse Assessment Coordinators, Charge Nurses, Rehabilitation Staff, Dietary Professionals, Directors of Admissions, Staff Development and Infection Control Nurses. The goal of this program is to help new staff adjust to the expectations and routines of their position, and to ensure they are aware of all resources available to them.

In short, Fundamental owes its success to the over 30,000 people who work around the clock to provide care to our patients. These are individuals with a passion for caregiving, who understand that each moment offers an opportunity to make a positive difference in a patient's life. Family members often tell us that they are delighted with the level of connection between staff and patients, and are even more surprised at how attached they themselves become!

Career opportunities abound at all levels. Our healthcare centers provide varying levels of patient care, offering ample opportunities for professional caregivers in nursing and rehabilitation, as well as openings in support areas such as Admissions, Business Office, Maintenance, Dietary, Activities, and Social Services.
