Trails, LLC. is a medium-sized independent living
home, a for-profit facility located in a suburban
environment. Due to traffic and road congestion,
this eldercare facility is the most convenient
independent living home near the city.
Independent living homes in the city offer many
of the same services as Happy Trails, but are
more expensive. The elderly may go to a several
hospitals for acute health care issues.In a
response to the changing economy and patient
access from the suburban areas to the city, Happy
Trails has taken some measures to compete, become
more attractive, and build on its long-term care
for patients in the surrounding areas. It has
reduced
2
overtime allotments of its seasoned patient care
staff, and has terminated several registered
nurses. As the registered nurses leave
Happy Trails, they are replaced by Licensed
Practical Nurses (LPNs), who receive lower
compensation and fewer benefits. The health care
facilities in the city are unionized and are well
represented by an experienced union business
agent. The union has recently negotiated superior
wages and benefits at the independent living
homes in the city. In terms of the health care
professionals employed there, Happy Trails is not
so happy now because the union representing the
other facilities has received the attention of
the Happy Trails LPNs. Resource Happy Trails
