Build your team.
Strengthen your facility.
On site and virtual staff training for skilled nursing and long-term care facilities, designed by Sierra Thomas. Each session translates regulatory literacy, clinical documentation, and operational discipline into measurable performance at the bedside.
Book a Training ConversationTraining that changes the floor. Not the slide deck.
Most inservices end the moment staff sign the attendance sheet. AthenaCrest trainings are built differently. Every session ties a regulatory or clinical concept to a daily operational behavior the team can install Monday morning.
We bring the same operational fluency we use inside facility stabilization engagements into every classroom. The result is training that survey teams notice, that administrators can measure, and that staff actually keep using.
Eight curricula built from inside the building.
Every topic is calibrated to the audience, whether bedside clinical staff, department heads, the IDT, or executive leadership. Custom topics available on request.
MDS Documentation and Accuracy
Section by section coding precision, supporting documentation discipline, and the daily habits that hold MDS integrity together.
QAPI and Quality Measures
Translating CMS quality measure data into operational priorities the IDT can actually move, supported by a QAPI committee that drives change.
Survey Preparedness for Staff
How surveyors think, how to handle entrance and observation, and how to respond to interviews without weakening the facility's position.
Resident Rights and Abuse Prevention
Federal and state resident rights frameworks, mandatory reporting, and the cultural standards that prevent abuse before it begins.
Infection Control Compliance
IPC fundamentals, surveillance, outbreak readiness, and documentation that holds up under both survey and litigation scrutiny.
Care Planning Best Practices
Individualized, defensible care plans that drive care. Not paperwork written to satisfy regulation.
Medicaid Billing Basics for Clinical Staff
How clinical documentation drives the Medicaid dollar, and what bedside teams must know to protect facility revenue.
Leadership and Charge Nurse Development
Building floor level leaders through accountability conversations, IDT facilitation, conflict resolution, and operational ownership.
Calibrated to your team and timeline.
AthenaCrest delivers training in the format that fits the facility's operational rhythm. That may be a single on site inservice during shift change, a virtual session across a multi state portfolio, or a multi week leadership curriculum that compounds across the organization.
On Site Inservices
Single session trainings delivered inside the facility, calibrated to a specific department or topic. Typically 60 to 120 minutes with workbooks and follow up resources.
Virtual and Zoom Sessions
Live, interactive sessions for staff across multiple facilities or for teams that prefer a remote training rhythm. Recordings available for ongoing reference.
Custom Multi Session Packages
Multi week training curricula tailored to an operator's portfolio. Combines on site, virtual, and asynchronous components. Ideal for ownership groups standardizing performance across a portfolio.
"Training is the cheapest insurance a facility ever buys. It is also the most expensive thing to skip."
