Excellent customer service is essential for positions that involve interactions with people. In the long-term setting, customer service goes beyond just good quality service; it involves creating a positive experience for residents, patients, and families, helping them feel valued and respected. Long-term care providers often gain new customers through word of mouth from those who have had positive experiences with their organizations, or they can lose potential customers because of negative reviews.
