Judy Jones*, owner/administrator of a Nevada nursing home, enjoys seeing her residents thrive and feels a strong sense of satisfaction taking care of this fragile population.
However, Judy has read many articles on the elder care of the future. She knows the long-term care industry suffers a severe shortage of nurses. She realizes that more residents are entering her nursing home at age 85 and older, with a greater percentage of memory-impaired patients who require more attention than the young elderly. And of course, she is well aware of the litigious climate the nursing home industry faces.
SamarionFacility addresses these vital issues via SamarionSolution's location identification technology. By having the ability to track the movement of residents, staff members and outside contractors, and the inventory of important assets like defibrillators, Judy is empowered to better manage her facility.
Judy can even learn what has taken place at the nursing home during her absence. For example, on Monday morning following a few days out of town, she uses SamarionFacility to create reports on the weekend's activities. By analyzing these reports, and through subsequent follow-up with staff, Judy discovers that one of her residents failed to receive a particular service. When Judy approaches the staff, she finds that further training is needed. The staff is happy to comply with additional training, and future problems are avoided.
SamarionFacility gives administrators like Judy the vital information they need to optimize nursing home efficiencies—and peace of mind.
