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.
