Recognize the Caregivers Who Make a Difference Every Day
CNAs, medication aides, dietary staff, and activity coordinators are the heartbeat of senior care. They show up every day for work that is physically demanding, emotionally taxing, and chronically underrecognized. Nectar gives senior care and skilled nursing facilities a simple, affordable way to acknowledge the people who make exceptional care possible — so your best staff stay, and your facility culture becomes a reason to join, not a reason to leave.

1,400+ Organizations Building Culture With Nectar
Turnover Isn’t Just a Problem—It’s an Emergency
Senior care has one of the most severe turnover problems in any industry, and the consequences play out in care quality, team morale, and administrative cost every single day.
Turn First-Year Hires Into Long-Term Team Members
Engagement survey scores reveal dissatisfaction, but without a structured culture of ongoing recognition, the path from data to action stays murky.
Low Morale Is Costing More Than You Think
Replacing a single registered nurse costs between $40,000 and $60,000 in recruiting, training, and lost productivity — and turnover in hospital settings often runs 15–30% annually.

"We used to spend up to two days each month manually recognizing employees for birthdays and anniversaries. Now, Nectar handles all of that automatically, which has been a huge time-saver" -Hannah Rutt
Recognition That Reaches Every Caregiver, Every Shift
Senior care doesn’t happen at a desk. Nectar is built to work the way your team works — mobile-first, easy to use, and accessible without a company email address or a computer. A charge nurse can send a shoutout to a CNA from the nurses’ station in 30 seconds. A caregiver can receive recognition on their personal phone with nothing more than a push notification.
- Mobile app with push notifications — works on personal devices, no company email required
- Peer-to-peer shoutouts tied to care values: compassion, reliability, resident dignity, teamwork
- Recognition feed visible to the entire facility — so great work gets celebrated publicly
- Manager recognition flows designed for busy charge nurses and administrators
Rewards That Fit a Senior Care Budget
Nectar’s points-based rewards model was built with cost-sensitive environments in mind. There’s no per-shoutout cost and no minimum spend that strains a tight operating budget. Compare a modest monthly per-employee investment against the $4,000–$8,000 cost of replacing a single CNA — and the ROI case writes itself.
- Low per-employee monthly cost — predictable, budget-friendly pricing
- Points-based model with no invoicing per recognition sent
- Gift cards, prepaid Visa, Amazon, and local merchant options
- Charity and nonprofit donation options for mission-oriented staff
Keep Staff Engaged Between Annual Reviews
Reward Participation, Not Just Performance
Not every win shows up in a performance review. Nectar's Challenges feature recognizes caregivers for showing up for themselves and their teammates — through wellness goals and team competitions that earn real points rewards.
Spot Burnout Before It Becomes Turnover
The cost of losing a caregiver isn’t just financial — it affects resident relationships, care continuity, and the morale of the team they leave behind. Nectar’s built-in analytics give administrators and DONs early visibility into where engagement is declining before it becomes attrition.
- Engagement trend dashboards for facility-wide and department-level views
- Recognition heatmaps that surface which teams are thriving and which may be struggling
- Manager activity reports to identify supervisors who may need support or coaching
- Reporting filterable by department, tenure, and location

What our customers are saying
"Before Nectar, our turnover rate was around 25%. Now it’s less than 7%, which has made a huge difference for us in keeping our team together.”
“Before Nectar, our wellness program participation was just over 35%. Now, we’re seeing participation rates close to 80%, which has been a game-changer for employee engagement.”
“We used to spend up to two days each month manually recognizing employees for birthdays and anniversaries. Now, Nectar handles all of that automatically, which has been a huge time-saver.”
“One of our team members said, ‘It’s the little things like getting recognized that make me feel like I’m not just a number, even when I’m working remotely.’”
“Even with everyone working from home, it felt like we were all still part of the same team when we saw those shout-outs come through.”
“I credit Nectar with keeping our engagement from taking a huge hit during challenges that the business has faced. Like many companies, we went through a huge cost saving exercise over the last 6 months... but I will tell you it was NEVER an option for leadership to consider canceling or changing the Nectar contract. It's too important to who we are.”
