Course Description
A rapidly aging population, higher-acuity care needs, continued financial pressure, and unprecedented challenges in hiring and retaining qualified caregivers are all contributing to the resource crisis facing the long-term care industry. It is critical to develop effective strategies to keep existing and attract new care providers. In this session, we invite senior care owners, operators, and designers to explore the built environment as a means of retaining well-qualified workers and attracting a new cohort of workers for the future. Learn strategies to maximize efficiency, safeguard the health and well-being of care providers, and create communities where people want to work and thrive while providing safe, high-quality care.
Learning Objectives
• Describe how building design and amenities impact an organization’s ability to attract and retain staff.
• Identify design strategies that enhance staff efficiency, safety, and staff satisfaction in the care environment.
• Assess the potential first cost vs. return on investment for design enhancements that support efficiency, staff satisfaction, and safety.
• Describe FGI Guideline recommendations for staff support areas for residential health facilities.
