The Problem
Why this matters for your facility
Most nursing homes throw new hires into the deep end: a few hours of orientation paperwork, a shadow shift or two, and then full caseloads by week two. The result is predictable — overwhelmed new employees, medication errors, documentation gaps, and resignations within the first three months. Every early departure costs $3,500-$5,000 in recruiting, training, and productivity losses. The facilities that retain their new hires have one thing in common: a structured onboarding program that supports employees through their entire first 90 days.
