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

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."
