Often staff leave these jobs for higher paying jobs elsewhere. This turnover is not only costly to the organization, but it disrupts the lives of the clients who live in these homes and communities. DSP’s are highly trained individuals who go through days of orientation before they even meet the clients. This training was significantly increased in 2013-2014 due to changing our licensing to 245D. Dedicated DSP’s across Minnesota took part in this training because of their strong desire and commitment to provide the best, patient centered care to clients. Please strongly consider this 5% increase. Clients are more than consumers; DSP’s are more than caregivers. We become a part of each other’s lives.

They need to have trained qualified staff. This is not happining because employers have no choice but to hire just anyone. Because the pay is not suficent to atract better qualified workers. Almost everyone I know in all three of my jobs have to work more then 1 job to make ends meet. This makes for overworked staff and the individuals we serve suffer due to this.
