MDS Coordinator Orientation Program is a rigorous 3-month educational series focused training assessment nurses the right way from day one. We have structured this orientation in a way that an MDS Coordinator that completes our program will understand the importance of being compliant with CMS and the RAI Manual and reimbursement maximization. Investing in training and providing advanced skill sets for employees is crucial in our field. Not only does it enhance individual capabilities but also strengthens the entire healthcare team.
Christina’s nursing career journey:
"Becoming a nurse was not just a profession for me—it was a calling whispered to me from my granny, who spent her life as a CNA. She always told me that my hands were meant to heal, that my heart was big enough to bring comfort and kindness to those who needed it. For 10 years now, I have worked in long-term care, and I have come to cherish when a resident’s eyes light up because someone truly listens. There is wisdom in hearing their stories, their triumphs, their lessons, the experience that only time and living can give."
Christina's thoughts on working with Lacroix:
"Lacroix has been the greatest resource throughout our MDS training. Whether it was a quick email, a reassuring message, multiple Zoom call, or one of the countless check-ins, I always felt supported, never alone in the learning curve. Now, I can truly say—without hesitation—that I am an MDS nurse. If ever I’m uncertain, I know exactly where to turn: the resources, the team, and yes, that darn (if sometimes daunting) RAI Manual."
