Having served as assistant administrator at a small facility with extensive experience in the senior care industry, Avi Richman understands the extreme challenges facilities face these days in staffing
There is a constant fight over employees and many states cap admissions when a facility is only operating at very low levels of staff.
Many facilities attempt to address the problem of staffing through working on their public appearance to prospective employees.
Avi states that this method often won’t work because it's almost impossible for most facilities to scale the idea of what they want their vibe and company culture to feel like.
The only situation in which this would work would be if the facility concerned was small, and standalone.
Avi gives an example of such a facility that deepened their company culture by creating an employee counsel that served as a legitimate decision making body.
But is there a sole strategy that will contribute with certainty to the success of staffing endeavors?
Avi asserts that facilities need to focus their time and energy on making sure the processes they plan are executed smoothly and to completion from start to finish.
It is easy to say that this will happen but very difficult in reality, the only way it will work is if the process is monitored and nurtured 24/7.
