ACE Leadership Change Package
During Phase 1, the ACE team spent time with eight nursing homes across South Carolina post COVID pandemic to ask them questions on what sets them apart from other SC nursing homes that are equipped in maintaining low frontline turnover rates. Version one of the Change Package is focused on the successful practices of high performing nursing homes and the themes that emerged regarding how they approached the three focal areas: Leadership & Management Practices, Financial Practices, and HR Practices. The practices in the Change Package reflect on how their nursing home leaders and direct care staff shared menu of strategies, change concepts, and specific actionable items – items that any nursing home can choose from to begin testing for purposes of improving residents’ quality of life and care.
Phase 2 and 3 will also be incorporated as a resource in the fall of 2024. The goal in utilizing the Change Package is to provide a high-level historical perspective of the 3-year project, and included as a complementary resource to literature reviews and other evidence-based tools and resources.
