In this episode, we sit down with Tamara Prosper, a passionate advocate for elder care and a seasoned nursing home administrator. Tamara shares her journey into healthcare, her deep love for working with the elderly, and the immense challenges that come with managing long-term care facilities.

From the struggles with funding and staffing to the complexities of patient rights and regulatory compliance, Tamara gives us an inside look at the realities of working in nursing homes. She also emphasizes the often-overlooked role of Certified Nurse Assistants (CNAs) and their impact on patient care, as well as the vital importance of documentation to prevent critical situations like “immediate jeopardy.”

Tamara discusses her vision for an ideal care model, one that fosters a home-like environment for seniors, reduces staff turnover, and improves patient care. She also stresses the importance of treating healthcare staff with kindness to improve both their well-being and patient satisfaction.
