Courtyard Gardens
Case Study

The Company

Courtyard Gardens offers senior living in a home-like setting where older adults can maintain a sense of dignity, purpose, and self-esteem. Courtyard Gardens pledges to serve with kindness, love, and professionalism while providing cost-effective quality care and demonstrating their commitment to all residents. 

The Business Challenge

Like other senior living facilities, Courtyard Gardens found it difficult to handle HR-related issues in-house due to limited administrative staff. Wanting to control costs, improve efficiencies, and maintain compliance with HR regulations, the company decided to explore outsourcing its HR-related functions. Specific issues included:

  • With more than 100 employees, they needed a better process for handling payroll, benefits, quarterly 941 reporting, W-2s, and I-9s.
  • With limited HR staff, it wasn't easy to remain current on changing HR regulations.
  • An increase in workers' compensation claims led to increased workers' comp rates. Improving their employee safety record while controlling rate increases became a priority.

The Solution

Courtyard Gardens selected FrankCrum as its outsourced partner for HR, benefits, and workers' compensation. Using a cross-functional team, FrankCrum provides the following: 

  • FrankCrum’s onboarding process allows for paperless submission of employee forms through the self-service tool, MyFrankCrum.
  • Loss control and risk management specialists are available to establish safety programs in accordance with OSHA guidelines and to develop safety manuals. 
  • The benefits team administers benefits and responds to questions.
  • The FrankCrum payroll coordinator sets up employer and employee tax deductions and payroll details for income tax, wage garnishments, SUTA, FUTA, unemployment tax, etc. 
  • HR specialists are available to respond to problems and take proactive steps such as developing an employee handbook and drafting policies.
