Fiore™/Health Providers hold a proprietary user license and pay a monthly fee for their participating group homes. Fiore typically starts to improve preventative health in month 1 and breaks even financially by month 3. Thereafter, Fiore delivers positive, sustainable cash flow to your bottom line, primarily from guaranteed food cost savings. Ensuing labor savings also impact a provider’s financials, but this upside is accumulated more slowly and is apparent over a six to twelve month timeframe. Overview Fiore (fee-or-ee) means “to blossom.” Fiore is a groundbreaking, proven solution of preventative health and significantly reduced costs. The piecemeal quality-of-life initiatives providers are cobbling together in-house aren’t effective, as evidenced by escalating, dire trends and new mandates/demands from a number of impatient stakeholders. Cornerstone At Fiore’s core is guaranteed sustainable financial benefit. As a result, Fiore is a zero-cost system delivering reduced food expense, upside to the bottom line, and increased oversight/accountability capabilities. Hands-on Aspects Fiore’s components are customized for people with developmental disabilities and the busy staff supporting them; over the past decade the initiative was conceptualized, refined, and proven to be effective with the backing and collaboration of experienced and highly respected professionals and organizations, including the USDA. Fiore in a nutshell . . . Below is what is included with a Fiore license agreement. You access what you would like to achieve your unique goals. The system is available online as a web-based system (24/7 access from any computer), the information can be printed out for use in hard copy, or providers can receive the information via fax back.
