Evaluating Employee Turnover in Home and Hospice Care

Evaluating Employee Turnover in Home and Hospice Care

Wow! According to this article above, the average turnover rate at home care agencies is 60%.

Partners in Senior Care has a turnover rate of 27%!

What do we attribute our 73% retention rate to?

1. We hire less than 20% of those who apply for employment with us.
2. Our screening, orienting and training process exceeds the standards set forth by IDPH
3. We believe there is a direct correlation between the “care of the caregiver” and the care of the client. For this reason:
• We hold annual employee recognition events in October. 
• We recognize and reward superior care.  
• We provide Health Insurance and Vacation Benefits. 

We think our caregivers are pretty terrific, but don't take our word for it, here is what one client's daughter said, "Joyce has been a life saver for my mother and her quality of life.  She is exceptional, caring and competent.  We are very fortunate to have her as a 'family member' and care giver."
