My Background

Since 1978, I have worked closely with long-term care and senior housing businesses, devoting the last 15 years to helping facilities in financial and / or regulatory peril. Some of my turnaround projects include roles in nursing home receivership, temporary management, and monitoring for the State of Michigan. I was also engaged by the State of Indiana, Office of the Attorney General, to evaluate the competency of Administrators under review by the Nursing Home Administrators Board for providing Substandard Quality of Care. These experiences have exposed me to residents in deep despair, including troubled facilities featured on ABC’s 20/20 news program. From high school experiences as a nursing home volunteer and nurse’s aide, to post-college management experiences in elite private pay as well as depressed inner city facilities, I am fully qualified to review cases involving resident abuse and neglect in your state. My background and qualifications include:

  • Regulatory Consultant
  • Clinical Knowledge
  • Health Services Management Degree
  • Occupational Safety and Health Degree
  • Licensed Nursing Home Administrator Since 1978
  • Survey Turnaround Specialist
  • Senior Management Positions - State And National Companies
  • Multi-State Operating Experience
  • Facility Ownership
  • Provided Nursing Home Care To Immediate Family Members
  • Lecturer and Author
  • As an expert witness and legal consultant, I can assist your firm with the myriad of state and federal regulations that govern long-term care and residential based facilities. Unlike hospitals, long-term care is driven by intense - extremely directed regulation, especially when it comes to determining responsibility for "negative resident outcomes." These regulatory expectations address the Governing Board, Administrator, Nursing Director, Medical Director, attending physicians, nursing staff, and others involved with facility care and services. Most standard of care determinations are defined by regulation in long-term care, which leaves little room for professional interpretation.
