How Eskaton is Revamping Staffing as Part of Larger Transformation

“Eskaton is engaged in a transformation from its roots as a higher-acuity operator to one focused more on lifestyle, wellness and person-centered philosophies. Central to those efforts is a newly revamped staffing model.

That’s according to CEO Sheri Peifer, who the Carmichael, California-based organization promoted from president in late 2023. Since then, Peifer and the organization’s leadership have had their hands full preparing for the company’s “next 50 years” by planning new independent living growth and a shift away from higher acuity skilled nursing care.”
