Senior living facilities face ongoing challenges with workforce retention. High staff turnover not only disrupts care but also drives up recruiting and training costs. The core issues often include:

Burnout from high workloads and inefficient workflows
Limited access to training and on-demand support
Confusion around benefits, career growth, and HR policies
Insufficient real-time assistance for job-related challenges

Workflow Automation to Reduce Burnout

The chatbot automates documentation and shift-related queries, minimizing administrative burden. Caregivers can focus more on resident care rather than paperwork.

Guidance on career progression, certifications, and upskilling opportunities increases employee engagement by showing clear investment in their futures.
