According to a recent study by the American Health Care Association and the National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL), 99% of nursing homes and 96% of assisted living facilities are facing staffing shortages. As a result, many of those tasked with providing care to senior citizens feel overwhelmed, overworked, and undersupported.
Home health agencies are facing similar shortages—a lack of available care providers keeping patients from receiving the care they need when they need it.
Senior care operators are feeling the burden
If you’re tasked with reducing operating costs or improving revenue at a senior living facility or home health clinic, you have a lot on your plate right now. Beyond the stress of staff retention and scheduling, you also have to look ahead for ways to optimize your care delivery model. Many are stuck implementing outdated operating models with no real way of identifying the problem, let alone a solution.
Here are some signs it might be time to rethink the way you deliver physical therapy to patients:
- You’re paying minimum hours to staff a PT when you only need a handful of visits here and there.
- You’re allocating dedicated square footage within your property to rehabilitation centers.
- You’re worried about the ability of your residents to extend their quality of life in their current environment to the maximum extent possible.
