Promote and retain confident and competent senior care staff
Assisted living has great potential to improve the lives of disabled and older adults. In this unique social setting, individuals are united by their need for assistance with managing their health care; however, finding enough qualified staff continues to be a challenge for leaders. HealthStream has put together a number of solutions to provide consistent training for care providers and office staff to improve senior care competence and staff performance.

Staffing challenges— overcoming turnover
Historically high rates of staff turnover often negatively affect services provided to residents of assisted living and senior care communities. Those rates average 42 percent per year and rise to as high as 135 percent in some parts of the country.
With ongoing wage pressure, employee engagement and training has never been more important.
Chronic service issues and lack of attention to resident concerns create resident dissatisfaction, which can also cause move-outs and lost revenue for the facility. It's a vicious cycle that fails to meet the needs of residents and jeopardizes the financial health of the organization itself.
HealthStream understands the value of high-quality service and care and helps assisted living and senior care facilities interrupt the turnover cycle by putting people first. By investing in employee retention initiatives, simplified recruitment/onboarding efforts, and staff training and care management, organizations are better equipped to provide consistent coordination of care for residents.
Support clinical competency with tools and curriculum relevant to your workforce needs.
Recruiting, training, and retention challenges are demanding, especially in community and assisted living environments. HealthStream works with leaders in community health to educate staff on identifying and supporting those with complex needs and limited resources.
