We strive to improve quality of life for the residents and raise the standard of the nursing home experience

Brooke Russo & Associates, Inc has been providing social service and activities consultation for the state of California since 1997. The operating philosophy of our organization is to strive to improve quality of life for the residents and raise the standard of the nursing home experience by driving person-centered care and de-institutionalizing facilities. The common goal is to ensure the residents are receiving appropriate psychosocial interventions and facility is within regulatory compliance.

Our philosophy is to help facilities understand how to move away from a formulaic day-to-day operation (i.e. residents are given a schedule of when to eat, bathe, sleep, etc.) and towards a person appropriate plan of care. The consultants work with the SSDs , ADs, IDT, and facility staff as mentors. The goal is for your SSD and AD to share the same knowledge base as the consultants who provide service. The consultants are constantly striving to improve the skill set of each of these disciplines through education, tools, mentoring, and coaching.

The landscape of long-term care has changed dramatically over the past several years and facilities find themselves caring for indigent, mentally ill, and those with various addictions who are well below the geriatric age threshold.  Discharge planning has reached a new level of expertise and IDT commitment and consultants will help cultivate the appropriate skill set to manage this psychosocially complext population.
