I’m Jennifer Ledom, R.N.,

THE Nursing home consultant and registered nurse with more than two decades of experience in skilled nursing, hospice, and long term care administration.  My background as an Executive Director, Corporate Quality Assurance Nurse, CFO, and Risk Management Consultant gives me a practical, regulatory savvy perspective on how nursing homes truly operate. And, most importantly, what it takes to keep residents safe, facilities compliant, and teams functioning well.  I work with facility leaders, owners, and attorneys on skilled nursing administration, survey preparation and recovery, long term care risk management, and quality assurance/QAPI to address complex clinical and operational challenges.

Equally important, I partner directly with families who are navigating the stress and uncertainty of caring for an aging or vulnerable loved one.  I help families understand the long‑term care system, evaluate options, interpret what facilities are saying (or not saying), and advocate effectively for safe, dignified, appropriate care.  Whether you are preparing for a survey, stabilizing a struggling facility, facing legal questions, or trying to protect and advocate for someone you love, I’m here to provide clear, compassionate, and actionable guidance every step of the way.

Areas of Expertise

  • Nursing home administration

  • Survey prep and recovery
  • Long term care risk management
  • QA/QAPI program development
  • MDS and documentation
  • Family advocacy consulting

My consulting practice encompasses a broad range of services designed to strengthen nursing home operations, reduce risk, and protect residents and their families.  Through Nursing Home Administration Consulting, I work with owners and leadership teams to optimize staffing, workflows, and regulatory compliance while improving overall facility performance.  Survey Preparation and Recovery support provides facilities with practical guidance before, during, and after state and federal surveys, including immediate jeopardy situations and plans of correction.  I also offer Long Term Care Risk Management and Family Advocacy Consulting to address high risk clinical issues, support attorneys and insurers with case review, and help families understand the system, evaluate care, and advocate effectively for their loved ones.
