What You Can Get From

Facility and Corporate Consulting

As a result of my 14 years of experience managing long-term care facilities, their systems, and processes, and maintaining regulatory compliance, we can provide you with the following services:

Our first step is to schedule a discovery call with your top Leadership team members. This 90-min discovery call with your Facility Leadership team is to discover what your facility has identified as the top areas for non-compliance.

This will allow us to discuss what you believe are the most critical compliance needs for residents, regulatory compliance, and clinical leadership needs at your facility.

Hear From Harry Manigault

Harry Manigault, RN,

Regional Nurse Consultant

 

"I received a phone call from a previous consultant stating the nursing facility where I was employed previously had received multiple J-Tags.  She wanted to know if  I would be interested in returning as the D. O. N.?  Well I did go in for the interview and at that time was when I met Brenda Sheppard. 

We spoke and she was very honest about what was going on in the building.  The building was in their survey window and they were in no means ready,  I had to build a team.  

Needless to say, I did accept the job offer and from that day to the day of survey, my staff, along with Brenda, worked tirelessly at providing education and tools for the building to succeed.  Brenda taught us a whole new way of thinking and reacting to situations. I thought I knew everything and slowly found out that there were somethings that I needed to brush up on.  

She was always available and always pushed the staff to think outside the box.  She was available to provide inclusive training that focused on topics that would keep you in compliance.

Brenda left us with a sense of knowing we would be able to use the way she encouraged us to think and react to things to obtain the goal.  A deficiency free survey.  Upon leaving us, we had a luncheon in Brenda's honor and had t-shirts made that would remind us of Brenda's teachings. 

The shirts' statement was WWBD (What Would Brenda Do)?  This became a constant reminder of her teachings and guidance through the process of preparation for surveys. 

She was truly an inspiration, mentor, and friend."
