"Since implementing Covr we've seen a reduction in overtime costs. It's also allowed us to ensure the appropriate staffing level at each of our buildings and helped us reduce agency usage while allocating our employees at our facilities."

CFO

Interlochen Health and Rehabilitation Center, an affiliate of Creative Solutions in Healthcare, faced staffing inefficiencies that increased labor costs and operational challenges. With over 15% of employee hours logged as overtime, 96 missed lunches per month, and 460 extra hours worked each month, leadership needed a solution to streamline workforce management and improve accountability.

The Challenge

Managing a skilled nursing facility requires precise oversight of labor costs, staffing schedules, and employee compliance. Interlochen struggled with:

  • Excessive overtime leading to unnecessary payroll expenses.
  • A lack of visibility into missed lunches and unauthorized extra hours.
  • Inefficient manual processes that hindered proactive scheduling adjustments.
