Facility, Organization, and Community Services
Consulting Services for Long-Term Care
I will work directly with your long-term care facility, assisted living community, or nursing home to improve the quality of life for residents and the professional environment for staff. Consulting services can include assessing current practices, identifying areas for improvement, and developing comprehensive strategies to address specific challenges.

Behavioral Management Training
This specialized training equips professional caregivers and staff with the knowledge and strategies to effectively and compassionately navigate challenging behaviors often associated with dementia, such as agitation, aggression, and wandering. The training teaches staff how to evaluate and understand the root causes of distress behaviors, such as an unmet need, pain, or environmental factors. This training will teach staff to maximize the use of non-pharmacological interventions, de-escalation techniques, and communication to promote a calm and safe environment for both residents and staff.
Trauma-Informed Care Training and Implementation Support
Meet CMS mandates to assess for trauma histories and provide trauma-informed care.
This service will provide a baseline organization assessment, identify current competencies and areas for growth, develop an implementation plan, and establish processes for ongoing monitoring and evaluation.
