We're Happy to Be Here!
Here's a ray of sunshine for beleaguered facilities that feel like they just can't make anybody happy. According to a the 2009 National Survey of Consumer and Workforce Satisfaction in Nursing Homes, 85 percent of residents and families and 68 percent of staff members would recommend their facilities to someone else.

The survey noted that consumer and employee satisfaction began to rise in 2005 and has been stable since 2008.

Other key findings of the survey, performed by My InnerView:
  • Consumers and staff in pay-for-performance states are more likely to recommend their facilities.
  • The most consistent predictors of consumer recommendations are the employee/resident relationship and the care and services provided by the employee.
  • Competent and caring staff is a consistent predictor of resident and family recommendation.

Solutions for Better Aging: Saving Your Residents Time and Money
ProMed is always looking for new ways to help you offset the day-to-day stresses associated with operating an assisted living facility. We believe that Solutions for Better Aging could benefit both your residents and your bottom line.

Solutions for Better Aging sells, invoices and ships products, including incontinence supplies, nutritional beverages and assistive items, directly to private-pay residents, saving residents and their families both time and money. This may create an additional revenue source that helps to offset facility costs associated with product use, such as disposal of incontinence management products, while standardizing the products used within your facility with proven products used every day throughout the industry.
