S.E.R.V.I.C.E.™ Gets Results
Revolutionizing
Long-term Care from the inside out at your long-term care facility
Every
organization believes it is committed to great service, but how many
truly integrate it into every part of their day-to-day operations? Service
isn’t just about customers; it’s a leadership mindset that
encompasses every part of an organization. And the leadership has to
set the strongest example.
Susan Gilster & Associates has created the proprietary S.E.R.V.I.C.E.™
leadership model specifically for administrators of assisted and long-term
care communities, based on many years of research and the hands-on
experience of the SGA team. When well-implemented, S.E.R.V.I.C.E.™
will infuse your facility with a completely new atmosphere, one that
is centered in cooperation, support, satisfaction at all levels, and
long-term success and sustainability. S.E.R.V.I.C.E.™ is centered
on the critical principals of Service, Education, Respect, Vision,
Inclusion, Communication and Enrichment. It’s a step-by-step
process that will radically transform the culture of your organization,
creating an environment rich for dramatic results.
Follow-up research at a recent SGA client facility clearly illustrated
the effects of S.E.R.V.I.C.E.™ when implemented over the long-term. This
CCRC had been overwhelmed by a lack of leadership longevity and the
absence of a long-term vision. One year after implementing S.E.R.V.I.C.E.™
with SGA’s help, the CCRC reported:
- Statistically significant improvement in staff satisfaction surveys
- Project savings of $688,000 in staff turnover
- Dramatic decrease in agency utilization
- Strong increase in census and financials
After 18 months, staff turnover remains in the single digits, dramatically
down from the industry average of 50-100 percent. You can learn more
about S.E.R.V.I.C.E.™ through Dr. Susan Gilster’s book, “Changing
Culture, Changing Care: S.E.R.V.I.C.E.™ First.”
If you are ready to take your long-term care facility from
Chaos to Calm using Susan Gilster & Associates’ S.E.R.V.I.C.E.™ model,
please don’t hesitate to call.
