March 2022 LinkedUP Bulletin

Here's a Webinar You Won't Want to Miss - and it's FREE for LinkedUp Members!

Workforce turnover in long-term care settings was a growing crisis even before the pandemic, and COVID-19 only accelerated the troubling trend.

Join The Green House Project and two of its partner organizations for a deep dive into the strategies that have helped them find and keep top talent.

Brio Living Services in Michigan will discuss the organization’s significant bonus retention program, the shared decision-making process that was used to develop it, and the results several months into the effort. In addition, leaders from Chelsea Jewish Lifecare in Massachusetts will share how it managed to avoid using any agency staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Green House Cottages of Walnut Ridge

Located in Walnut Ridge, AR, the community is undergoing an $11 million renovation. Ultimately, there will be four Green House cottages housing 12 elders each. Currently, 34 residents live in the organization’s traditional nursing home.

Spring is the Time to Plant the Garden!

The Green House Cottages of Homewood in Mena, AR have the Future Farmers of America (FFA) team to thank for building their new raised garden beds. Staff and FFA members delivered them to the community.

In Gulfport, MS they have been tending to their gardens for years! This elder is taking care of the garden at her Green House home at Seashore Highlands.

Here's hoping it's a wonderful season of flowers and vegetables in the summer of 2022!
