Our Services
Building Better Quality Care Through Targeted Consulting
We provide customized consulting services tailored to Assisted Living Facilities’ unique needs. Our experienced consultants help strengthen operations and regulatory compliance to deliver quality care. Services include Survey, Clinical, Environmental, Training, IT, and Quality Improvement consulting.
Survey Consulting
Preparation for survey is even more critical as states are enhancing their regulations for these providers and competition in the market increases. ALF ASSIST consulting team can provide a third-party review of your assisted living facility’s compliance with state-specific regulations as if the actual survey team was in your facility. We will help identify potential trouble areas that need to be addressed for compliance and provide you with a comprehensive findings report at the conclusion of your mock survey.
