Summer census is rising. Is your staffing plan keeping pace?

As admissions increase and employees take well-deserved time off, many senior care organizations find themselves balancing growing resident needs with staffing challenges.

Now is the time to evaluate your workforce strategy, identify potential gaps, and ensure you have the support needed to maintain quality care all summer long.

The most successful teams aren't reacting to staffing challenges. They're preparing for them.

Every second counts in a cardiac emergency.

During CPR & AED Awareness Week, we're recognizing the importance of lifesaving skills that can make the difference between life and death. Whether in a healthcare setting or the community, CPR training and access to AEDs help create safer environments for everyone.

Live from Lobby Day 📍

Kara Texiera is in Harrisburg today with Garry Pezzano, President & CEO of LeadingAge PA, joining providers and industry leaders from across the state to advocate for workforce solutions in aging services.

The message is simple: quality care starts with a strong workforce. As providers continue to navigate staffing shortages and growing demands, it's important that their voices are heard.

We're proud to be part of the conversation and grateful to LeadingAge PA for bringing leaders together to support the future of senior care.

The workforce conversation continues to be one of the most pressing challenges facing senior care providers today.

LeaderStat's Kara Texiera, Director of Post-Acute Partnerships, is joining LeadingAge PA at Lobby Day, and one message remains clear: quality care depends on a sustainable workforce. Yet providers are being asked to meet increasing staffing requirements while qualified candidates remain in short supply.

The result? Communities are limiting admissions, closing units, and making difficult operational decisions that impact access to care.

Supporting policies that strengthen the workforce pipeline and provide greater flexibility for providers is critical to ensuring older adults receive the care they need, when they need it.

One theme continues to surface in conversations across the ASC industry: the hidden cost of leadership vacancies.

When key roles sit open, the impact goes far beyond recruitment challenges. Delayed decisions, staff burnout, operational inefficiencies, and missed growth opportunities can quickly affect performance and patient experience.

As ASCs navigate increasing volume, tighter margins, and ongoing workforce pressures, having the right leaders in place has never been more important.

What leadership challenges are having the biggest impact on your ASC right now?

This month, conversations at the OHCA Convention & Expo and LeadingAge Texas pointed to a few clear themes across post-acute care and senior living:

• Workforce stability remains the biggest challenge
• Leaders are being asked to do more with less
• Interim leadership is becoming a strategic solution, not just a temporary fix
• Providers want sustainable staffing strategies that reduce agency reliance
• Technology investments are being evaluated based on real operational impact

One thing we heard consistently:
Organizations aren’t looking for more ideas. They’re looking for practical solutions that support staff, strengthen operations, and improve care delivery.

Grateful for the opportunity to connect with so many healthcare leaders this month.

An open ASC leadership role is not just a hiring issue. It’s a revenue issue.

When administrator or clinical leadership vacancies linger, the impact reaches far beyond the org chart:
• Delayed growth initiatives
• Slower operational decisions
• Increased staff strain and burnout
• Scheduling inefficiencies that can affect case volume and revenue

The longer the gap remains, the more costly the ripple effects become.

As we shared in our latest article, many of the biggest costs of leadership vacancies never appear on a balance sheet until performance starts to slip.

The question is not just “How quickly can we hire?”
It’s “How much is waiting already costing us?”

Close the gap before it costs you.
