Here's Why I Started The Nursing Home Podcast

00:08.937 --> 00:12.222
Welcome to the nursing home podcast. Your goto

00:12.267 --> 00:15.987
source for professional insights in the long term care industry.

00:16.137 --> 00:19.542
Hear from leaders and experts as they share current and practical

00:19.602 --> 00:22.792
insights to help make the most of your day. I've been a long term care

00:22.840 --> 00:26.272
financial specialist. What that means is I help people plan for

00:26.305 --> 00:29.887
the inevitable. Nobody wants to think about getting old, but it's possible

00:29.950 --> 00:33.367
that someday we might need a little bit of care. Here's your host. Nursing home

00:33.415 --> 00:36.042
Administrator Turnpodcaster Schmoel,

00:36.102 --> 00:37.112
Septimash.

00:42.937 --> 00:46.762
Welcome to the very first episode of the Nursing Home

00:46.900 --> 00:50.077
Podcast. My name is Mole Septimus. I am a

00:50.095 --> 00:53.712
nursing home administrator turned marketer turned

00:53.787 --> 00:56.600
podcaster, turned whatever the next Turn will be.

00:57.037 --> 01:00.772
The reason why we started this podcast is for the simple

01:00.880 --> 01:04.492
reason that there seems to be a death of information

01:04.690 --> 01:08.857
for people who are actually looking to find real information

01:09.010 --> 01:12.907
about what actually happens in the nursing home field. People who are looking

01:12.985 --> 01:16.302
for up to date current information, whether you're

01:16.332 --> 01:19.897
a family member looking to place someone in a nursing home,

01:20.080 --> 01:23.872
very terrible and difficult decision. Or if

01:23.905 --> 01:27.877
you are a professional and you're ready in this industry and

01:27.970 --> 01:31.627
you are trying to really understand the industry, maybe from

01:31.645 --> 01:35.557
the bottom up, you're trying to see work your way in. You're trying to

01:35.710 --> 01:39.352
understand is this something is your move from growth here?

01:39.445 --> 01:43.925
You really care about the industry. You're really just trying to understand,

01:45.262 --> 01:49.222
get an inside look as to what the industry is really all about.

01:49.405 --> 01:54.477
So the goal is that we're going to be interviewing professionals

01:54.582 --> 01:57.997
in the industry and any other role that they may be

01:58.030 --> 02:01.862
in in a way that will be most beneficial to you, the listener.

02:02.887 --> 02:06.322
There are a lot of myths regarding the nursing home industry. People think

02:06.355 --> 02:10.027
that owners laughed their ways to the bank and

02:10.195 --> 02:13.797
supply the nursing homes with minimal staffing

02:13.842 --> 02:17.622
levels, minimal supply levels, and there are all sorts of horror

02:17.667 --> 02:21.662
stories that make it to the news regarding nursing homes,

02:22.162 --> 02:26.237
you know, senior residents escaping the looping

02:26.812 --> 02:30.212
and ending up in all sorts of unfortunate circumstances.

02:30.712 --> 02:33.727
There's definitely truth to a lot of this, but again, there's a lot

02:33.745 --> 02:37.027
of myths because nursing homes are a place where

02:37.045 --> 02:41.202
no one really wants to go. It's unfortunate,

02:41.307 --> 02:45.222
it's the best of the other alternatives

02:45.267 --> 02:48.997
for many people. So therefore there's a tendency to kind of

02:49.030 --> 02:52.162
over dramatize what goes on. But there is some truth to that as well.

02:52.300 --> 02:55.777
So that's definitely something that we want to COVID and we want to share all

02:55.795 --> 02:59.272
that information with you. And again, I'm going to be learning along with

02:59.305 --> 03:03.082
you. I've been managing nursing homes now for several years and in

03:03.160 --> 03:06.447
multiple environments, all of them within the state of Massachusetts,

03:06.492 --> 03:10.102
but several different companies. Each company has its

03:10.120 --> 03:14.007
own environment, its own culture, and I've gotten

03:14.097 --> 03:17.722
to experience quite a bit in all these different

03:17.755 --> 03:21.327
companies. But this show is not about me. The show is about the guests

03:21.357 --> 03:24.627
that we will bring on. And again, each one a respective

03:24.657 --> 03:27.997
leader in their field to really to give

03:28.030 --> 03:31.822
their unique take on where the industry is

03:31.855 --> 03:35.202
going, the trajectory from where it's been to where it's

03:35.232 --> 03:38.647
going, the current changes, alternate methods of care for

03:38.680 --> 03:42.432
the seniors, for our seniors. We're all going to be seniors one day. We don't

03:42.447 --> 03:45.725
want to send our seniors to nursing homes. Where are we going to send them?

03:46.387 --> 03:50.652
Home health is growing. Other alternative forms

03:50.682 --> 03:54.702
of care are growing. Again, marketing for nursing

03:54.732 --> 03:58.822
homes. The hospitals are not allowing the

03:58.855 --> 04:02.982
marketers in anymore. So we have to do more online marketing.

04:03.072 --> 04:06.682
How does that work? In a practical way, as I make doors open, as it

04:06.685 --> 04:10.625
makes the phone ring. So this is what we're going to be doing.

04:11.287 --> 04:14.412
We're going to try to make this a weekly podcast.

04:14.487 --> 04:18.050
So this is something you can look forward to on your commute every week.

04:18.412 --> 04:22.272
And really, I'll be sharing this on LinkedIn. On Facebook.

04:22.467 --> 04:26.002
On Instagram. On Twitter. You can follow me in all of

04:26.020 --> 04:29.302
those places to get the very, very latest of

04:29.320 --> 04:32.317
the show. It will also be available on my website,

04:32.440 --> 04:36.637
snfmmarketing.com skillednaursingfacilitymarketing.com

04:36.775 --> 04:40.362
by podcast. It will be available there and everywhere

04:40.512 --> 04:43.477
where better podcasts are listened to,

04:43.645 --> 04:47.457
downloaded, and of course, rated and reviewed.

04:47.622 --> 04:51.397
If you're listening to this, you still don't know if you've heard

04:51.430 --> 04:54.277
my other podcast that maybe you know a little bit about this, the Love Your

04:54.295 --> 04:57.937
Nine to Five show. But if you don't know it, I understand.

04:58.000 --> 05:01.057
You don't have an opinion yet, perhaps. But you

05:01.060 --> 05:04.850
know what? Listen to the next couple of episodes that are already out

05:05.512 --> 05:09.052
here, how awesome they are, then go. Leave me an awesome review. This is

05:09.070 --> 05:13.222
going to allow all the search engines to show the

05:13.255 --> 05:16.747
podcast to others who are searching for the very same things. So again,

05:16.780 --> 05:21.162
thank you for stopping by for this very first inaugural episode,

05:21.312 --> 05:25.182
the very first episode of the nursing home podcast.

05:25.347 --> 05:28.822
And I really look forward to doing this again with you in

05:28.855 --> 05:31.850
the very near future. Thank you.
