Starting an Aging Life Care Management Agency – Create All Staff Job Descriptions Before you Launch

August 21, 2016

Organizational Design means you see the future needs of your geriatric care management business when you start the business. You begin as an entrepreneur- a one-person shop doing every job. You are the marketer, geriatric care manager, data entry person and billing clerk. You play all the instruments in your orchestra.

As you grow you will hit a wall and your one-woman orchestra will start to sound screechy.

How to you avoid this? Plan ahead and have the job descriptions of all the jobs you yourself are doing in the beginning of your boutique practice and know when to hire new employees. Here are some benchmarks to hire this aging Life or geriatric care manager

When will you have to hire a geriatric care manager to replace you.

1.     When your financial forecast  tells you when you will make a profit you need to hire a geriatric care manager

2.     When your caseload exceeds over 7 heavy care cases plus light and medium so that you cannot give enough time to these complicated cases to do an excellent job and keep your clients.

3.     When you yourself as director are overwhelmed, on the point of burnt out and doing a dropping many of the plates you have to keep spinning in the air

If you have the job description of the employees you will need to hire and the recruiting steps to hire, you will not be scrambling at the last minute. This takes you using organizational design and preparing all job descriptions and recruiting plans at the beginning of your business, not when you desperately need a new employee to grow and replace you.
