From Chaos to Calm: 
Revolutionizing Long-term Care from the Inside Out

 
Chaos to Calm

The team at SGA knows firsthand what your day as a healthcare administrator is like – a glance at the “Chaos” side of this chart captures it well.  Look overwhelming?  Far too much to do, far too many responsibilities, conflicting priorities, and organizational challenges, and far too few hours in the day to handle them. 

Now take a look at the “Calm” side.  Breathing a sigh of relief?  SGA’s S.E.R.V.I.C.E.™ leadership model will get you there.  Based on the concepts of Service, Education, Respect, Vision, Inclusion, Communication and Enrichment, S.E.R.V.I.C.E.™ guides assisted living and long-term care leaders to create a culture that educates and empowers staff to confidently assume responsibility for many routine decisions and activities, freeing the leadership team to focus on the big picture. 

Our consultants will teach your organization to utilize SERVICE every day, directly resulting in:

  • More residents and stronger financial returns
  • Improved resident and family satisfaction
  • Decreased agency utilization
  • Statistically significant improvement in staff satisfaction surveys
  • Improved staff satisfaction and retention

For organizations ready to change and dedicated to improvement, positive results are typically achieved within three-four months of working with Susan Gilster & Associates, and continue into longevity. Isn’t it time for a revolution?

"Leadership in health care quality has been a recent topic of concern. Unlike "widget" production, human health care quality cannot be mandated. For nearly 20 years as the CEO of a long term care facility, working with persons with cognitive impairment and their families, Susan journaled daily reflecting on what she learned. She used what she learned to continually improve the lives of staff, residents, and families. Hundreds of people, including international visitors visit the Center to learn about the care that Susan has orchestrated. Lucky for all of us, Susan has compiled her approach in a step-by step leadership guide that will transform staff and residential care into a place where you wouldn't mind living yourself."
