NEW YORK CITY — Senior living technology company Sage has announced the launch of Labor, a new labor-management solution designed to align staffing with the acuity of residents.
The new platform was created at the request of Sonida Senior Living, which wanted to keep labor costs flat while matching care levels to the needs of residents. According to Sage, Labor allows operators to align staffing with acuity levels, manage staffing budgets and support caregivers through data tracking and analysis.
“Labor budget was the number everyone watched, but it was never really about the number, it was about whether our teams had what they needed to give residents the care they deserve,” says Tabitha Obenour, chief clinical officer of Sonida Senior Living. ” We set out to hold our labor budget flat and instead cut costs by $110 per resident per month, while giving our care teams more support than they’ve ever had.”
