Employee turnover runs rampant in senior care and the work that goes into replacing these employees is exhausting. But just imagine trying to fill open slots in a rural setting when a hospital has just been built down the street. Sounds pretty tough, right? 

That was the case for Washington Odd Fellows Home, a not-for-profit [continuing care retirement community ](https://www.onshift.com/who-we-serve/ccrc)located in Walla Walla, Washington. They knew they had to get serious about [engaging and retaining their employees](https://www.onshift.com/why-onshift/employee-retention), so they turned to OnShift. 

We swooped in and helped them streamline staff scheduling, improve employee communications, [monitor staff satisfaction](https://www.onshift.com/the-complete-guide-to-employee-engagement-in-senior-care-organizations) and capture feedback. As a result, Washington Odd Fellows Home saw an **increase in staff satisfaction** and a **33% in turnover** in just six months.

“***It’s valuable to have the chance to act on employee feedback gathered in OnShift. Before OnShift we did not have a standard method or tool to consistently connect with our employees to measure their satisfaction, until we started to use OnShift Engage.***" 

- Lisa Whited, HR Director, Washington Odd Fellows Home
