Smith 4/20 Tabathia Stafford 4/30 Welcome to Spring Anyone who has read Extended Care Chronicles for more than a few years know this is my favorite time of year. The weather is getting warmer, the flowers are peaking out of the ground, the days stay lighter longer- what’s not to like? Enjoy the awaking of Spring while you think of the points in my post this month. The fastest growing segment of the population is over age 85. With aging comes illnesses, diseases, falls and accidents that often lead people to nursing homes. Although we may associate rehabilitation with therapy and nursing, it is customer service that is critical as well for a successful resident (and family) experience. Through resident and family satisfaction surveys, we have found that our “customers” weigh their customer service experiences with similar importance to medical or therapy treatment processes. We must understand the positive value of giving our residents, and again our families, an outstanding customer service experience and recognize that this attention will go a long way in moving our “customers” to having better outcomes and more enriched time they spend with us. A few key elements to think about in our work day (whether you work in dietary, nursing, housekeeping or admissions): If you answer the phone – answer the phone with a smile. Sure the caller cannot see the smile but if you have a smile on your face while answering, you will express a positive attitude to the caller. Nothing puts off a customer more than someone answering the phone rushed, drab, and not being helpful. It is their first experience with us so it has to be positive. A warm welcome when visitors tour or walk through our facility. Passing someone in the hall – acknowledge them with a hello, a good morning, and if you really want to go the extra mile: Good Afternoon, can I help you with something? I understand staff are going about their work day, assisting residents, delivery meals, delivery care, but we all have time to say hello as we pass someone in the hall. When visiting a nice hotel, one can expect to be greeted by staff or management before setting foot in the lobby. The warm welcome is the first impression and sets the tone for the entire stay. Being admitted to a nursing home or rehabilitation facility can be a difficult experience for both the resident and their families. The transition from the hospital to a new facility and not knowing what the future holds can make anyone feel anxious and vulnerable. On admission we must providing a warm welcome to our residents and their families. It will help ease their fears and uncomfortableness. We want our residents to feel at ease from the moment they arrive. It is up to us to deliver the clear message that our team is here to help them – not only by responding to but also by anticipating their needs. Any concerns or complaints (and every facility has some) are shared with the appropriate care team member (Administrator, Nurse Manager, Social Service, Maintenance, Housekeeping, etc.) to be addressed immediately. I have found in my years in Long Term Care that it is more about how we respond to the complaint or concern that residents and families remember. Customer service in the healthcare industry is becoming more focused and deserves attention. Adding a customer service team member is a step in the right direction. The key to this approach is being proactive and anticipating residents’ needs. The hospitality industry has made the case that from the first greeting to the last day of one’s stay, customer care and service can make or break one’s experience. The “personal touch” is essential in rehabilitation too. I believe a warm welcome and a proactive check in can make a challenging time that much easier to navigate for our customers. So a few key things to remember: • Smile • Say Hello, Good Morning, Afternoon as you pass people in the hallway • Recognize it is a difficult time for a resident or family member • When talking to residents or family members focus on them- don’t have your eyes on a computer screen or answering the phone • Make our customers feel at home – like a visitor to you own home • Address complaints or concerns or bring them to someone’s attention that can address • Having a bad day – don’t show it. The light you show – may shine back on you. Enjoy the better weather!

Grasmere

CHECK OUT the Events at

February is known throughout our country for Black History month. It’s a time where we look into our past to learn from our mistakes. This year, Grasmere took a little of the past to build a bridge to our better future. Spear headed by Paul McCray, we had our first annual Black History Pot Luck. Throughout the month fun facts and questions were given to staff to increase your knowledge of history as well as fun stereotypes. It ended with the facility coming together and providing a different arrangement of foods from all different ethnic backgrounds to be enjoyed by all. This is the first of many things that has built our team and unity amongst all at Grasmere Place. Like our motto says “Roots to grow.. Skills to thrive”. Great work team.Almon Cooper, Food Service Supervisor24 YEARS OF SERVICE AND COUNTING
