Nursing Home Administrator Consultant – My business is to provide services to the long term care community with the proven ability to reorganize troubled facilities. As a successful Administrator/Executive Director I am able to reintroduce a high quality of patient care in skilled facilities by the use of the Quality Assurance program. The tracking by the Quality Assurance Committee of implemented systems will assure that the facility will be brought back into sustained compliance with State and Federal regulations. I have been successful working with troubled facilities that are under governmental monitoring by the LTCI monitors. Clients include:

• Corona Care Center, Riverside, Ca
• Glendale Care Center, Glendale, Ca
• Monte Vista Care Center, Highland Park, Ca

Arlington Gardens Care Center Riverside, CA - 28 bed SNF Executive Director December 2004-August, 2005 As the Executive Director responsible for facility operations, there were many successes for this historically poor performing facility.

The facility was stabilized and negative operational and financial trends were reversed. The facility had increased net revenues. A comprehensive rehabilitation program and post acute services were implemented. Managed care contracts were successfully negotiated and strong discharge planning relationships were established with the acute hospitals, physician and case managers. A Risk Management program was designed and implemented which resulted in a nine month period of time with no loss injury days. The facility exceeded profit, operational service goals were met and a continued 97% occupancy rate was maintained. I was designated as a Peer Assistant to the corporation’s three other facilities and provided operational assistance with my expertise, as my goal of restoring strong operational systems and turning the facility into a highly progressive and successful entity had been met.
