Retention ROI for Senior Housing & Care
Dollarize avoided turnover, agency hours saved, and overtime prevented. Built for finance partners pricing the H2 workforce plan and for operators defending the workforce-intelligence line item in the mid-year budget.
How retention ROI is calculated
Retention ROI = (avoided turnover cost + avoided agency premium + avoided overtime) minus platform cost, divided by platform cost. WRIE attributes each retained employee to the retention play that prevented the exit, so the ROI is tied to documented interventions rather than self-reported surveys.
Cost-per-turnover benchmarks
Industry Findings ranges: ~$5,500 for an AL caregiver, ~$10,000 for an MC caregiver or CNA, ~$22,000 for an LPN, and ~$58,000 for an SNF RN. A single avoided RN exit per community per quarter typically funds the entire workforce-intelligence suite.
