To prevent <br /> this from happening we will install door alarms on all doors so we are alerted <br /> immediately when someone attempts to leave the building. This system has worked <br /> flawlessly. .Because of our dose staff to client ratio of one to three,we are able to stay in <br /> close contact with all our dients at all times. We have had no incidents in our 38 year <br /> history of a client eloping from a licensed facility and entering a neighboring business, <br /> stepping into traffic or being injured in any way. <br /> SVS Employee experience and training <br /> SVS Employment requirements for Direct Care Staff include High School Diploma or <br /> equivalent,Fingerprinting/Drug Screening clearance, First/CPR certification and a <br /> passage of a fitness for work medical examination. On-the-job training consists of(2) <br /> day Orientation, (3)Days spent with staff Mentor and Driver testing/training. <br /> Additional in-service training is provided once every month for (4)hours on varying <br /> topics (i.e. emergency procedures,client safety, driving in inclement weather, etc...). <br /> Parkin <br /> SVS is entitled to its pro rata share of the 90 unallocated parking spaces within the <br /> building complex and we will abide by that. We believe at this time our unit is the only <br /> unoccupied space within the complex. Our prior observation of ample parking <br /> available within the complex was confirmed with a formal count on a recent Friday <br /> morning. The complex has 90 parking spaces. At 11am on March 27,2015, typically the <br /> peak parking hour for business, there were 34 occupied parking spaces,and 56 vacant <br /> parking spaces. To minimize impact upon our concerned neighbor,we will direct our <br /> staff whenever possible to park in the lightly occupied parking spaces behind the <br /> building(south side). <br /> Social Vocational Services,Inc. • 1401 Fulton St.#510 • Fresno,CA 93721 <br /> (559)443-7119 • Fax(559)443-7125 <br />
