SKILLED NURSING

Single-occupancy room initiatives pushing SNFs to brink

High renovation costs associated with adopting new rules for room occupancy limits are forcing some operators to close their doors. Vulnerable facilities, built in the 1960s and 1970s and designed for three to four residents per room, simply cannot afford the upgrades to house fewer than two residents per room.

Matt Salmon, CEO of Massachusetts-based SALMON Health and Retirement, said dedensification initiatives unfairly burden older buildings. In some cases, operators are faced with taking away public space and functional space to meet state occupancy requirements.

In other words, it’s not just a financial impact. There’s a change in how residents experience life in a nursing home with less public space.

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Passion for a greater purpose

While business leaders prioritize the commercial value of purpose, employees see purpose as a way to bring meaning to their work and understand the contributions they are making to the company, as well as society. And, employees need to find this meaning in their daily work in order to be fully engaged.
