MDS Orientation Program

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.

Dashawn Lawrence

Dashawn’s nursing career journey:
"My journey into nursing began after I worked as a patient care partner at the Heart Hospital of Lafayette. Surrounded by truly exceptional nurses, I found myself inspired by their skill, grace, and generosity. Their encouragement was the light that guided me through nursing school, pushing me to reach for more. Now, after fifteen years working in long-term care, I’ve come to value the stories our residents share. My purpose renewed day after day, knowing the power of connection and compassion in the smallest, most human ways. "

Dashawn's thoughts on working with Lacroix:
"Through it all, I have learned so much from Lacroix. Utilizing the skills and resources given to me, I feel very confident in my role as an MDS nurse now. Each day I step onto the floor, I carry with me the knowledge, mentorship, and unwavering support Lacroix's team provides."
