The Problem
Why this matters for your facility
Nursing home managers have performance conversations daily — addressing attendance issues, policy violations, clinical errors, and behavioral concerns. But most of these conversations go undocumented. When a termination becomes necessary, the lack of a documented progressive discipline trail makes the facility vulnerable to wrongful termination claims, unemployment claim disputes, and EEOC complaints. Managers avoid documenting because the process feels cumbersome or they don't have the right forms. The result is a legal exposure that grows with every undocumented conversation.
The Solution
What this template gives you

From informal coaching conversations through written warnings to performance improvement plans, each form guides managers through proper documentation — what happened, what's expected, and what happens next. Designed to be quick to complete so managers actually use them, while capturing everything an employment attorney or unemployment judge would need to see.
