1. Work schedule is number one by far.
2. Consistency of work—-will shifts be canceled?
3. Efficiency of the work environment e.g.—-organization/placement of equipment/supplies…building design/size…..
4. Caregivers involvement in decision making concerning patient care/outcomes as well as involvement in day to day operations as well……..not just an ‘open door policy’, which is considered a farce, but actual functioning committees that have processes to follow the trail of ideas/suggestions.
5. Fair wages in correlation to community standards…..plus differentials designed to cover the exceptional sacrifice that comes with being a business that is open 24 hours a day and 365 days a year.
6.Community image of the facility….but that will be corrected and brought to excellence with all of the above.
