Are background checks performed on the staff at Cambridge?

Everyone on our staff has a background check done through the Family Registry before hiring. Monthly follow-up checks are done on all staff to make sure there have been no violations.

How do you prevent falls?

Everyone at the center wears a color-coded name tag. A "fall risk participant” wears a bright yellow tag.  With those participants, we assist them very closely with walkers, canes or even wheelchairs.

Have another question?

Who does the driving? What are their driving records?

Our Driver is employed by Cambridge and must adhere to the same qualifications and background check as all the rest of the staff.  He also carries a Class E endorsement on his license.  The driver must have a perfect driving record.  Our current driver was employed by OATS for several years before coming to us.

Are you insured for field trips?

Yes.  We always have plenty of staff, along with our Program Nurse who always attends field trips.

​Have another question?

Is the kitchen inspected? What food safety steps do you take?

All staff are required to take the Food Handling course through Taney County Health Department.  They are not allowed in the kitchen until this class is completed.  The State of Missouri inspects our center at least two times a year.  Since we opened, Cambridge has had four inspections - all of them surprise visits. We passed every one of them with flying colors!  We recently became part of the State of Missouri’s Adult Care Food Program, which assures that we serve balanced and nutritious meals daily and report to the program on a monthly basis.

What steps do you take to make sure everything is clean and in good repair?

Cambridge has daily and weekly check-lists of cleaning and safety issues that must be done.

​

​Have another question?

Do I need to be concerned about violent behavior in other participants?

We go through an interview with every interested party and they must meet certain criteria.  If ever there is an unacceptable behavior, they will not be allowed to return to the center.  Our staff watches very closely for anything that could be a possible issue.
