This is great tool! I have looked up many of the ALF and memory care units in my area with the state board before touring. People would be astounded by how many «5 star» Google reviewed facilities have multiple fines, deficiencies, and complaints listed with AHCA, many of which are still open or are detrimental to people already living there. Thank you for sharing this tool, would love to see SW Florida included

Congratulations on launching your business and thank you for becoming a patient advocate. I am a nurse and after many years of advocating from the bedside, I just recently started my own practice as well. I have yet to have a client that is not a friend or family member so I may not be able to offer you much mentorship but I would be happy to chat about ideas or goals for your practice.

Thank you for sharing! I have reviewed many of the memory care units here in my area as well. People would be shocked to realize how many well rated facilities have multiple fines, falls, and misconduct documented on the state AHCA site. It is so important to research a facility before entrusting them to care for a client or loved one.

Hi Xena,
I am not in the Chicago area but may be able to help virtually if the clients are in a position to do so. Feel free to reach out if I can be of assistance.

I am rather new here as well but have spent many years advocating for my patients as a nurse before starting my practice. Specializing in both psych and hospice, I have experience in the holistic side of health care and alternative medicine both professionally and personally. Thank you for bringing it into patient advocacy as well!

Thanks John!

Hi everyone! I'm Tiffany Hare, I am new to GNA but not new to patient advocacy. I am a nurse in Southwest Florida with many years of experience in case management, behavioral health, and hospice care. I have witnessed families struggle to find answers and become overwhelmed with our fragmented healthcare system, and have personally experienced the difficulty of navigating for my own loved ones. As a nurse, I have said for years, I am not tied to any one company or hospital, I am dedicated to my patients first and foremost. I decided to take a leap of faith in June and start my own advocacy practice, Rooted waters nurse advocates, to help families navigate our complex health system, review records, and help them find their voice for their loved ones. I am currently pursuing my BCPA certification and am excited to be a part of GNA. I look forward to learning and collaborating with you all!
