Directed In-Services

The Institute understands the pressures of working in the current long term care environment. Our seasoned professionals have worked in this industry and know the delicate balance that exists between regulations, staff retention and quality care. The Institute emphasizes a collaborative approach to designing a program tailored to meet your directed in-service needs.

Our in-service curricula are developed by an interdisciplinary team of experts including nursing home administrators, registered nurses and a legal nurse consultant. All have extensive experience in adult education and are dedicated to providing in-depth trainings that motivate learners. With our emphasis on Culture Change, all programs aim to improve resident quality of care and promote employee skills enhancement and job satisfaction.
