Constellation Health Services has launched a facebook jobs application onon our Facebook Fan Page so that it’s easier than ever for job candidates to apply!

Position Manager Software Will Allow Applicants to Apply Online

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE…

January 17, 2012, Norwalk, CT - Constellation Health Services, has partnered with HealthcareSource, a national company specializing in helping healthcare providers recruit and retain talent, in implementing an applicant tracking software called Position Manager®.

Constellation Health Services, a health care provider offering Medicare-certified home care, private duty, geriatric care management and school-based therapy services with offices in Norwalk and Orange, CT was able to leverage their current resources to partner with a larger specialty organization like HealthcareSource.  Jeanne Kerrisk, Director of Human Resources stated, “We looked at several vendors and the Position Manager product had all of the components we were looking for, at an affordable price.”

Constellation Health Services was voted a top workplace by Hearst Media Group in 2011 and has since seen an increased applicant pool.  Home Health Aides, which make up approximately 60% of their 300-person work force, are known for high turnover.  Kerrisk continued, “Position Manager will allow us to keep up with our company growth and the challenges of filling new positions quickly with quality people.” The nature of home care also forces Constellation to abide by strict regulatory standards when hiring employees who will be in contact with patients or clients in the field and the online documentation will simplify this process.

Position Manager will streamline the application and on-boarding process across all of Constellation’s divisions.  Applicants can now visit www.constellationhs.com to search for positions and apply online.  Hiring managers and supervisors will be able to review and approve candidates for certain positions, and their applicant file can be saved for future positions.  Much of the volume of paperwork and manual documentation has now been offset by Position Manager.

Constellation Health Services is a family of companies offering home care, private duty, geriatric care management services and school-based therapy solutions to the communities of Connecticut’s Fairfield and New Haven counties.

Many seniors who have decided to “age in place” have experienced lifestyle modifications, including giving up driving. This loss of independence can be both disheartening and depressing. A certified are assistant can be a valuable transportation resource that cannot be replaced by a bus or taxi service. Riding a bus requires a level of mobility and balance that make it a difficult mode of transportation for some seniors.  And taxi service can become expensive.  Certified care assistants can transport and accompany seniors to their appointments or social events.  Personalized transportation services tailored to the specific schedules of seniors help them avoid feeling isolated support socialization with close friends and relatives.

For seniors who live at home, there are many benefits to owning a pet. Pets can combat loneliness and provide affection and unconditional love. They can help ease the loss of a loved one.  Dogs in particular can even provide a sense of security when home alone.  Unfortunately, it can become difficult for some seniors to properly care for their pets. Certified care assistants can provide the appropriate assistance for pets to remain in the home. They can feed and groom the animal, provide transportation to the vet when necessary and clean up after pets. This allows pets and their senior owners to stay together, which in turn helps maintain the soothing, calming effect of their loving presence.
