Essex Meadows is a continuing care community managed by Life Care Services. Its 45-bed Health Care Center provides comprehensive short-and long-term skilled nursing care. Services range from assistance with daily activities to intensive rehabilitation programs.
Essex Meadows is dedicated to providing its residents with a lifestyle of freedom, dignity, independence and security while providing the highest level of service and care. However, the company routinely relied on the use of a staffing agency to fill open shifts due to scheduling inefficiencies. There was growing concern that the use of outside staff could affect resident care.
Essex Meadows set out to eliminate the use of outside agencies by improving their scheduling processes. They looked for a software solution that was easy-to-use and gave them the ability to easily identify and communicate with staff to find replacements when call-offs occurred. After evaluating multiple vendors, Essex Meadows selected OnShift staff scheduling and labor management software. OnShift trained Essex Meadows’ staff and they were up and running in just a few weeks.
