Vancrest Nursing Home held interviews all day on Tuesday for many positions.

The new facility has received all necessary approvals from state and federal agencies to admit more people.

Currently, there are 14 residents. Administrator Randy Cox expects that number to increase to 20 by the end of the week, thus the need for more employees in all areas.

Only two people were waiting for interviews when the hiring session began.

Perhaps unemployment in the Ada area is not great, and people are happy with the jobs they have. There are several businesses in Ada seeking applicants, according to postings on signs inside and outside their establishments.
