Summary
Compassionate Licensed Nursing Home Administrator known for high productivity and efficient task completion. I had a continuous commitment to honor our elders with dignity and respect. Our center had different types of care in specialized areas including Rehab Services, Dementia Care and Long Term Care. I believed in the importance of continuous learning while teaching others the importance of developing relationships with the residents, to enhance the level of care that was delivered. One of my main passions is the respectful treatment of residents with Dementia. I went through many years of learning and trained our staff through education and modeling the way. I have enjoyed training Administrators to run a center on the basis of tender loving care while following regulations related to culture change. These concepts promote financial stability in a center with satisfied families and loyal employees.
