Overview: This site management plan is designed to foster consistent operational excellence across all homecare sites while building a supportive culture that promotes success and continuous improvement. By focusing on five key metrics, the plan aims to help each site achieve our organizational goals and maintain high standards of service quality. Monthly evaluations will provide an opportunity to celebrate achievements, identify areas for growth, and implement tailored improvement measures when needed.

Site Management Steps and Actions (for sites earning 3 keys or less two months in a row):
Step 1: Sites Earning 2.5 - 3.0 Keys
* Status: Coaching & Recovery Plan
* Action Required:
   * Regional Director will facilitate a stakeholder meeting to include RD, RDBD, Intake Leadership and Recruitment Leadership to identify opportunities for support and improvement in respective areas.
   * Supporting departments will be responsible for ensuring improvement in any identified areas of underperformance with their team.
   * The General Manager (GM) must draft a specific action plan addressing areas of underperformance.
   * The action plan should outline measurable steps that will result in material improvement quarter over quarter improvement.
   * The Regional Director (RD) will review and approve the action plan, providing additional support as needed.
   * Regional Director (RD) will remain engaged throughout the quarter reviewing action plan weekly with GM and making adjustments as needed to mitigate a consecutive quarter of underperformance. 


   * No meaningful improvement on underperforming metrics by the end of the 3 month period results in an Enhanced Site Improvement Plan
   * We may transition to the Enhanced Site Improvement Plan if the recovery plan is not being effectively implemented or if site performance shows continued decline within the initial three-month period.
Step 2: Sites Earning 1.5 - 2.0 Keys
* Status: Enhanced Site Improvement Plan (ESIP)

   * The General Manager (GM) must draft a specific action plan addressing areas of significant underperformance.
   * The action plan should outline measurable steps that will result in material improvement quarter over quarter.
   * The Regional Director (RD) and Regional Business Development Leader (RDBD) will each spend 2-3 days in the market (on different weeks) to provide hands-on support for improvement initiatives.
   * If there is no improvement in the underperforming areas in 30-days, the EPIP becomes a WPIP / “last and final”
