When you decided to open your personal care home, you thought the process would be quick and easy, but it wasn’t. It took 6 to 12 months and in some cases even longer to get your license and certification while spending thousands of dollars getting your home ready for inspection.
Now you’re ready and in touch with referral agencies and signing contracts. Days, weeks and sometimes months go by and your agency hasn’t delivered. They tell you they’ll contact you when they have a resident, however, there is no evidence of whether your agency is working for you or not. Most facilities are starting to get low on money. Now you’re getting nervous and desperate and begin taking Medicaid residents knowing it will have you struggling financially and working multiple shifts per day.
There is another way. Change your mindset from waiting on agencies to bring you residents, to becoming pro-active in marketing and advertising yourself as well. The only difference between you and successful facilities is they advertise.
Successful personal care homes understand there is no secret or magic to filling vacancies, they know their facility must be seen to be found. Therefore, they continually advertise and market their facilities whether they have vacancies or not. Successful facilities use agencies, but don’t rely on them 100% to fill their vacancies.
