Our story

Why did a staffing agency start a training school?

Because the people senior living needs most were the hardest to find.

Apex began as a healthcare recruiting and staffing agency. Senior living communities kept asking for the same people, medication aides and nurses, and there were not enough trained caregivers to go around.

So Apex started a school. Our school and our staffing agency now feed each other. Caregivers train with us and can join our talent pool, and the communities we staff can host clinical hours and get first access to our graduates.
