Staff training and development: Key to success in senior living communities

Senior living communities are often challenged when it comes to staff training.

Budgets are a constant concern, making expensive training programs a hurdle. Accessibility can also be an issue, with staff working various shifts and needing flexible learning options. And ongoing development is just as important. The senior care field is constantly evolving, so ensuring staff stay current with best practices is crucial.

The power of group purchasing

This is where group purchasing organizations (GPOs) can be a game-changer. GPOs leverage the collective buying power of multiple senior living communities to negotiate significant discounts with vendors. With Entegra, you not only secure the collective buying power of a GPO for food procurement but also gain access to a wide range of training resources for your staff.
