Administrator to all three buildings, ranging from 96-252 beds, facilities within the Metro region of Louisville.

Reorganized smaller facility getting lower agency numbers, cleaned up, fixed up 1 star facility for hand off to permanent LNHA.

Moved to largest facility in State of Kentucky-(special focus status candidate) -in order to stay ahead of surveyors. This 7 floor facility had demoralized staff and residents with huge agency presence. Nine agency’s reduced to two, streamlining a broken system to a manageable one. Started new scheduling system to include more 12 hr shifts on certain units while maintaining 8 hr shifts to accommodate present staff. Agency reduced by more than half using non benefit wage rate. Cleaned out facility with broken equipment, cleaned up interior/exterior and set roadmap to success. Survived Health Department oversite in Dietary while transitioning through 4 dietary managers. Housekeeping overhaul necessary in order to keeping house clean. This was not accomplished working normal 8-9 hrs daily. This took 12-14 hrs daily, 6-7 days a week for 4 plus months to accomplish. Took facility as far as possible, mostly due to inability of securing necessary funds to properly fix broken superstructure in facility. HVAC, Kitchen equipment, working call light system to name a few. 1974 vintage building where necessary repairs not kept to date for past 5-7 years. Worked with REIT and Corporate Maintenance Director to select and repair what we could.

Used background knowledge to work around issues with Maintenance group to keep things running. Stayed within budget in accomplishing these tasks. Got handle on Resident AR and Medicaid Pending backlog. Made impact on financials in order to better identify cost and relationship to budget. Staff was given day long seminar on all things financial in facility. Nursing management, Support staff were directed around facility to better understand day to day cost and inefficiencies. Dealt with Resident complaints ranging from room assignments, food, cleanliness, laundry, activities, smoking issues and recordable’s. Heavy, weekly involvement with Regional Nurse Consultant in order to keep facility from dreaded Special Focus selection. Was ongoing effort. Handed off in late December to permanent Administrator.

Final assignment was interim at Iroquois Park facility. Short term assignment as Interim only. This 120 bed facility was actively looking for new Administrator and filled in until new one was available. Reportable heaven here as Regional Nurse Consultant goes overboard in this area. DON/ADON/Unit Managers cannot focus on day-to-day task due to reportable stream. This could be from heavy turnover in every area but Dietary. Administrator to Maintenance manager, has turnovers numerous times in past 3-4 years. New BOM undertook financial mess and has done little to right the ship. Worked with BOM/ABOM/HR to understand issues within financials and budgets. Reduced Med Pending by getting information to authorities. Worked out programs with many LTC residents to address patient liability accounts.

Special Projects Administrator

Signature at South

Signature at Summerfield

Signature at Bardstown

Signature at St Mary’s Elizabeth

Signature at Spencer County

Working under RDO, assigned out to various facilities over a 2 plus year time frame.

Highlights include start up of Covid unit at Summerfield, turning a underused section of facility into a highly used Covid Positive recovery unit. At start, identified sector of facility that would allow easy conversion to specialized unit with expandability to upwards 90 residents. Control of cost in order to open - Start to finish, accomplished this in 30 days to first patient. Took Hospital patients (via agreement with Norton and UL Hospitals) to serve out exposure times as set out by CDC and other authorities. Expanded access this to other Signature facilities with some from competitors.

Moved to Bardstown due to CEO walked from facility. Worked with another RDO in order for continuity of management in facility. Small 62 bed facility and with small staff located in small community and no access for agency. Dealt with first of many infection control surveys along with facility where housekeeping services and staff are provided via outside company. First interaction of many with APS on residents and Staff. Located off Bourbon processing-storage facility, heavy involvement with exterior clean up due to mold in area and lack of plan for previous managers. Heavy smoker presence with residents so outdoor renovations were set into action and completed in order to accommodate them in a safe manner. Heaviest of new Covid regulations came during this time. Census kept at higher capacity. Transitioned facility to new CEO.

Next moved to serve as CEO/Activities/Admissions/Billing AR/AP/Central Supplies at SNU unit at UL-St Mary’s Elizabeth Hospital. This 26 bed unit serves only STR patients in and around West/South end of Louisville . This one person show does everything a normal facility offers, except Nursing related duties. Maintained census near full capacity. Worked well with UL-Hospital staff to eliminate the many shortcomings of customer service by staff. Two more Infection controls surveys-all cleared.

Lastly, Spencer County - this 120-bed facility in Taylorsville, Ky. the best run of Signature facilities in Derby City Region. Within days of arrival, Covid -19 hit on Thanksgiving Eve. From 15 residents, 37 moves to open full blown Covid unit. We accomplished the unimagined moves to, in days include 99.1% resident outbreak within in facility. Staff jumped in where needed to control all aspects of outbreaks. Working through balance of holidays, we dealt with staff own infections, nurse shortages and the total removal of resident’s belongings for cleaning. This Union staffed building did this without any interference from Union Hierarchy. Three more infection control surveys, the last included a complaint survey from 2018. Passed all. This all in 75 days of arriving at facility.

Union Contract negotiations, vote and acceptance.

The loss of long-term DON in facility. Management changes forced by staff burnout saw replacement of Nurse DON; MDS; SDC; SSD; Admissions; along with staff fleeing for better pay in Louisville and Agency. We survived with replacement of these critical staff. Started and complete renovations for Memory unit in wing of facility well suited for this.

Due to facility on REIT chopping block, Signature management eliminated Special Projects assignment.
