Education That Connects Regulation to Resident Care

Long-term care professionals do not need another presentation filled with regulations they can read for themselves. They need to understand how those requirements connect to actual resident care, clinical reasoning, interventions, follow-up, and documentation.

Stefanie Wilkerson, RDN, LD, combines more than 25 years of dietetics experience with her perspective as a former state surveyor to make complex clinical and regulatory topics practical, understandable, and applicable to long-term care practice. Her teaching keeps the focus where it belongs: excellent, individualized resident care.
