Improving the life-style of long-term-care employees.

The list of possibilities for helping employees alter their life-styles can be endless. Employees may contribute ideas. Improving employee life-style can result in better health care for nursing home residents and senior citizens. Residents may be more inclined to improve life-styles when they observe employees making effort to stop smoking and by exercising, applying good dietary habits, and participating in stress control. Everyone wins when health providers attain optimal physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The dividends will be worth the investment.
