Healthcare Services Group, Inc.


Healthcare Services Group, Inc., has been providing housekeeping, laundry, and most recently food services food services Hospital services A 24/7 department in a hospital that provides for the nutritional needs of inpatients–eg, those needing special diets, preparing meals and transporting them to the floor and, through the cafeteria, the hospital staff and  to the long term care industry for 26 years, so I guess you could say that HCSG HCSG Healthcare Services Group Incorporated (Bensalem, PA)  and CLTC CLTC Certified in Long-Term Care

 have grown up together.

We have both seen many changes in the industry over that time, primarily the evolution of the nursing home business from an industry that grew from a collection of individually owned facilities 25 years ego to the national chains that have changed and shaped the dynamics of our industry today.

It also allowed the facility's management team to concentrate on patient care and maintaining census. By providing solid housekeeping and laundry management options to long term care facilities, HCSG enabled administrators to focus on what they do best, and leave the day to day tasks of housekeeping, linen and laundry, and food service production to those of us who focus exclusively on those tasks.

The secret to our success lies in our ability to attract bright, capable managers who are willing to work in an industry that traditionally has not offered much advancement.

Most long term care industry insiders have come to realize that the public's perception of an individual nursing home is to a large degree based on the first impressions they get from walking through a facility. So, housekeeping and laundry operations have taken on a role of greater importance in the marketing of a facility.

HCSG has stressed since 1977 that the key to strong operations is strong management, and strong internal management has taken us where we are today.
