One of the most rewarding investments at your Adult Foster Care (AFC) facility you can make is in your AFC caregivers retention strategy. Creating an environment where employees feel supported and valued not only benefits your team but also strengthens the care provided to your residents.
Retaining your caregivers doesn’t happen by chance; it requires thoughtful and consistent steps. One of the most impactful actions you can take is ensuring your team has clear expectations for starting and ending shifts.
Setting your caregivers up for success begins with clarity. By outlining daily expectations, you:
✅ Help staff feel confident and empowered in their roles.
✅ Reduce turnover and prevent costly call-offs.
✅ Foster consistency of care, making your facility the provider of choice for residents and families.
Clarity doesn’t just streamline processes; it demonstrates that you care about your team’s success. When caregivers understand their responsibilities, they can focus on what matters most: delivering exceptional care to your residents.
That’s why we’re sharing “How to Start and End a Shift,” a practical guide designed to help your caregivers feel confident and supported.
Effective caregivers retention involves a combination of strategies, but it all starts with communication. By being transparent about expectations and routines, you create a culture of trust and reliability. Your team is more likely to stay when they feel supported and have a clear understanding of how they contribute to the success of your AFC home.
