Brindle SchedulingQuarterly business review

Q4 2026 · October 1 to December 31Hollin Court Senior Living

Agency hours fell 23%, past the 20% we agreed. Seven of your nine communities now beat the 24-hour target for filling open shifts. Maple Run and Alder House don't, and they are the same two where fewer than six in ten staff use the app. We'd like to spend most of the call on those two.

What 1,470 fewer agency hours is worth this quarter, at the $18 an hour your finance team says agency cover costs over your own staff. Your Brindle subscription for the same three months was $19,500.

By community

In the seven communities where about three in four staff or more open the app each week, agency hours fell by 28% to 32%. In the two highlighted, where fewer than six in ten do, they fell by 5% and 7%. Both have had an interim scheduler since October.

The outage on November 17

The app was down from 6:10 to 6:57 a.m. ET on a Tuesday, in the middle of the morning shift change. A database failover didn't complete. Schedulers at four communities went back to paper for the handover. We now rehearse failover every month, and the full write-up went to your IT lead on November 20.

The two tickets still open

Goals we propose for Q1 2027 to settle on the call

  1. Agency hours at or under 4,200 for the quarter. Roughly another 15% down from 4,930.
  2. 85% of open shifts filled within 24 hours in every community, so the two lagging ones can't hide inside an average.
  3. Maple Run and Alder House at 75% weekly app use by March 31. They are at 54% and 59% today.

What we're shipping that touches you

What we need from you

  1. A permanent scheduling lead at Maple Run and at Alder House. Nothing else on this page moves those two as much.Names by Friday, January 22
  2. Thirty minutes at each of those communities' January all-staff meetings. We'll get people signed in to the app while they're in the room.Meeting dates by Friday, January 15
  3. Agency invoices sent to us monthly. Today we get them at quarter end, so nobody sees a bad month until it's over.Starting with January's, by February 10
