Those who work most closely with residents are at the core of providing quality care and achieving quality outcomes. Research shows that satisfied and happy staffs provide better quality care and contribute to greater quality of life for the residents in skilled nursing centers. With a more satisfied, well-trained and committed staff, providers see increased retention rates and fewer work-related accidents and injuries, all of which contribute to better overall performance of the center. Gero Nurse Prep can help nurses feel more confident and stabilize turnover. Gero Nurse Prep can help address all four quality initiatives set forth by the AHCA/NCAL, based on CMS quality indicators.
