Advanced Health Institute Testimonial from Accura HealthCare
“We entered into a partnership with AHI for a Director of Nursing. She was phenomenal. She not only completed her role as DON but she also mentored a couple of the other nurses.
The most appreciated pieces from AHI is that the interim candidates don’t act like interim candidates. They act like they’re a part of their team, they act like they’re your permanent hire, and they try daily to make the facility a better place.”

“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Ashley, who joined our team through AHI, and from day one, her professionalism, empathy, and dedication stood out.
Despite coming into a temporary role, Ashley approached every task with a full heart and a deep commitment to the well-being of the individuals and families we serve.
Ashley quickly built rapport with residents and staff alike, showing not only technical skill and knowledge of social work best practices but also a rare ability to truly listen and connect on a human level. Her presence brought a calm, compassionate energy to the team that we all appreciated.”

“I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Advanced Health Institute, specifically for its MDS nurses and nurse consultants. I have had the privilege of working closely with AHI and observing its outstanding commitment to advancing the quality of care for individuals in long-term care settings.
As a Nursing Home Administrator with extensive experience in healthcare, I have witnessed firsthand the vital role that MDS nurses play in improving patient outcomes and enhancing the overall quality of life for residents in long-term care facilities. AHI has consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of the complexities of this role and provides a robust curriculum that equips MDS nurses with the skills and knowledge necessary for success.
Advanced Health Institute’s focus on MDS (Minimum Data Set) assessments, regulatory compliance, clinical care planning, and interdisciplinary teamwork prepares nurses to handle the multifaceted responsibilities of working with elderly and medically complex populations.
Moreover, the faculty members at AHI are highly experienced and dedicated to the success of their trainees. They bring a wealth of clinical expertise and a passion for educating new MDS nurses. During a time we were without an internal MDS nurse AHI stepped in seamlessly to fill this need until we could train our own team member.
I highly recommend AHI’s MDS nursing team for anyone who needs to fill an MDS nurse role or train a new MDS nurse. The education, resources, and support provided by the AHI has undoubtedly equipped our nurses to meet the evolving needs of this essential field.”

“We’ve been working with AHI for years but just a few months with their new nursing on-call service and I can say, as with all AHI’s services, that we are extremely pleased.
The reason we turned to the AHI on-call program was because my two nurse managers were trading nights and weekends to be on-call, and as a result weren’t sleeping and were experiencing so many interruptions to their off-work time. They were burned out.
AHI took the reins and I cannot say enough about the relief they have provided us. They have walked our caregivers through medication issues, resident falls, and other emergencies with grace and skill. The cherry on top is how responsive they were setting up the program with us, and their continued excellent support and communication now that we’re up and running.”

“Advanced Health Institute (AHI) always has our back! We have used AHI in the past for temporary positions. In 2024 we looked to them again for an interim Director of Nursing. They responded with an interim DON that took on the role with professionalism, kindness and a great sense of humor. She quickly built strong relationships that allowed us to gain knowledge and valuable experience that has made us a stronger facility. Once the DON role was filled, we had two other roles that she helped us cover and train. She did all of this, not only with professionalism, but with enthusiasm. She was always willing to share her knowledge and when she left we were a stronger, more experienced team.
The team at AHI supported us in many ways during that time. With reporting, preparation for survey, auditing and education. The effects of the support of AHI will have a long lasting effect on the staff, the team and our residents.
When we needed a Dietary Consultant immediately, we reached out to AHI, and they said “we got you!”. They came to our rescue again! They found us an excellent Consultant who worked with us emergently and fulfilled our need.
They told us we are part of their family and will always support us, and that is exactly what they have done.
Advanced Health Institute will always be our first call when we have a need. They are professional, personable, knowledgeable and extremely helpful!”

“AHI was a huge blessing to our nursing team when we needed them most. Their communication, knowledge, professionalism and willingness to help wherever needed was so beneficial. We noticed a difference between AHI and other interims. We would highly recommend them and would welcome the interim DON if there is a need in the future at any of our facilities.”

All did a wonderful job, were extremely helpful to my sites in providing support and being available to the staff. They have also found areas that needed some cleaning up and helped with that process. I highly recommend AHI and have nothing but good experiences with every nurse I have encountered.”

“As a manager it is nice to see the changes and improvements with these reports. It allows myself and the case managers to be on the same page, along with seeing the underlying changes in a person’s wound, that are not often relevant to the eye.”

“Sholom has had the pleasure of partnering with A.H.I. for over 4 years now. The Sholom team has utilized the resources of AHI for multiple services when a need arose. A.H.I. has been flexible and responsive even when there has been a need for support requiring quick turnaround. There has not been a time that A.H.I has not been able to meet our needs. Sholom has utilized AHI for project support such as survey readiness, onboarding new leadership, assessment resets, mock surveys as well as interim leadership both clinical and administrative. A.H.I. sends quality staff to our buildings. We feel that AHI is a trusted business partner in this often-difficult world of senior care services.”
