Why Turnover Costs So Much

The true cost of caregiver turnover goes far beyond just posting a job. When a caregiver leaves, agencies face:

  • Recruiting expenses — job postings, sourcing, screening applicants
  • Training investment — orientation, skills training, shadowing
  • Lost productivity — new hires take 2-3 months to reach full productivity
  • Administrative burden — paperwork, credentialing, background checks
  • Client disruption — care continuity suffers with frequent caregiver changes
