The Problem
Why this matters for your facility
Nursing homes handle more terminations than most industries due to high turnover rates. Each termination — whether voluntary or involuntary — requires specific documentation, system access revocation, credential reporting, and compliance steps. When these are missed, facilities face wrongful termination lawsuits, unemployment claim disputes, and audit findings. Without a standardized process, each manager handles terminations differently, creating inconsistency and legal exposure.
