Sustainable growth for hospice and skilled nursing operators.
We help small operators and new acquirers build the ongoing education, clinical rigor, and compliance discipline that too many skip — and pay for later.
The topsail is the highest sail on a ship — the one that catches the wind first. That's the work: helping leaders see what's coming, navigate change early, and sail through storms rather than be caught by them.
An RN who can actually work with your team — wherever you are.
Mock surveys, plan of correction support, ongoing survey readiness for hospice and skilled nursing.
Remote advisory for DONs and executive directors — a thinking partner for the hardest calls.
First-90-day playbook for new EDs, DONs, and hospice leaders stepping into complex situations.
A 30-minute call. We identify your two biggest survey risks and one growth opportunity you're missing. No cost. No pitch.
I've spent nearly twenty years in healthcare — and much of it as a clinical consultant in one form or another. I came up through the bedside, starting in the ER, which gave me the rare vantage point of seeing this business from nearly every side: as a clinician and clinical educator, in award-winning hospice sales and skilled-nursing marketing, in hospice operations and leadership up to the VP level, and in strategy and network development for value-based care. Few people in this field have sat in all of those seats.
That breadth is what I bring. I understand the clinical realities and the business pressures a small operator or new acquirer is under, because I've lived both — inside ACHC, CHAP, and CMS frameworks and state-specific quality measures across multiple markets. Author of From Bedside to Business.
I built Topsail Clinical because I've watched too many nurse leaders get thrown into complex roles without the tools, playbooks, or support they need. My job isn't to tell you what to do. It's to be a thinking partner who's been where you are and can help you see what's coming — the storms, the openings, the way through.
That's what the topsail does. It catches the wind first.
Whether you know exactly what you need or you're not sure where to start, the first conversation is always complimentary.
