How to Lower Your Workers' Comp and PL/GL Costs in Senior Living

If you’re a senior living or skilled nursing operator, rising operational costs are likely a concern. Yet, one of the biggest areas to optimize often remains unexplored—reducing Workers’ Compensation (WC) and Professional/General Liability (PL/GL) costs. Here’s the good news: you can lower these expenses while improving efficiency with the right combination of technology and strategic expertise.





Together, CareWork and iPEO Solutions help operators just like you slash costs and boost operational performance. Here’s how.


The Hidden Costs of Inefficiency

Managing workers’ compensation and liability can be time-consuming and costly, especially in an environment with tight margins like senior living or skilled nursing. Many operators struggle due to:

  • An overly manual, reactive approach to addressing issues.

  • Lack of insight into key operational metrics.

  • Difficulty obtaining competitive insurance rates due to high claims or operational inefficiencies.

This is where smart tools and partnerships become essential.


Meet CareWork - Your Tech-Driven Solution

CareWork specializes in streamlining operations and providing actionable insights tailored specifically for senior living and skilled nursing facilities. Its platform consolidates your most critical data—HR, procurement, clinical, labor, and financial—offering a complete picture of your organization in one place.

Key Features Include:

  • Actionable Dashboards: Instantly view where your facility stands on crucial performance indicators.

  • Alerts & Reports: Stay proactive by identifying trends before they become problems.

  • Time-Saving Automation: Tasks that once took hours (like turnover analysis or clinical quality measures tracking) are now accessible at the click of a button.


For example, administrative teams traditionally spent 8-10 hours analyzing turnover. With CareWork, this is reduced to minutes! This type of operational improvement directly reduces WC and PL/GL costs by fostering a safer, more streamlined work environment—an outcome your insurers value.
