Staffing Struggles<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many factors are contributing to the chronic LTC personnel shortage. Currently, the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.advisory.com\/daily-briefing\/2021\/10\/18\/employees-quitting\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Great Resignation <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is exacerbating an already dire problem. As the population ages, more baby boomers will need long-term care. Plus, life expectancy is also climbing. That means LTC facilities will be housing more patients and caring for them for longer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More patients may sound good for business, but the increased demand has a downside. Recruiters already struggle to keep facilities fully staffed with qualified workers. More patients will require even more caregivers, fueling existing competition for qualified employees.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"02_Aging_in_Place_Home-Based_Care\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">02. Aging in Place, Home-Based Care<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">COVID showed us that there really is no place like home. According to a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aarp.org\/research\/topics\/care\/info-2021\/caregiving-tax-credit-in-home-care-bipartisan-support.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">survey by AARP<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, more people want the option to receive long-term care from the comfort of home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those companies that offer home-based care, this care dynamic requires more of your clinical staff. At-home LTC clinicians face new challenges, like making house calls or conducting telehealth consultations online through video conferencing. Fill out your workforce with people or third-party staffing solutions that can excel in these new roles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"03_A_Rise_in_Person-Centered_Care\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">03. A Rise in Person-Centered Care<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients want more independence and input into their care. Successful facilities will give them the space to do so.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Engaging patients in a new way may sound simple, but it can be a difficult paradigm shift to maintain. It takes ongoing dedication to create an environment of inclusion and dignity among patients and staff.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"04_Elevated_Patient_and_Staff_Expectations\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">04. Elevated Patient and Staff Expectations<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The patients who opt to come into LTC facilities expect more than healthcare and a place to stay. The increased competition in the LTC marketplace is leading some facilities to offer more perks and services such as social and recreational activities, homeopathic therapy, laundry and housekeeping, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some are enticing patients with salons, fine dining, spas, live entertainment, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping pace with these luxury LTC facilities will take more than just offering more activities in the break room. It will take a real investment to reshape your space and bring in professionals to operate the new services you plan to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"05_New_Compliance_Regulations\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">05. New Compliance Regulations<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">COVID changed everything. LTC patients are among the most vulnerable demographic. The elevated risk led to new regulations to ensure patients receive care with as little exposure as possible. They include some physical changes, some policy changes, and a lot of paperwork.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll need to stay on top of implementing new policies and ensure your team meets these new regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beware_and_Prepare\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beware and Prepare<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combining all these changes adds up to a lot of extra work and worry for your support staff.
