What We Do
Four ways LeadingCare supports your organization
Each service is designed around Washington State regulations — WAC, RCW, and DSHS protocols — so the guidance you receive is directly relevant to your next survey.
Survey Preparedness
Comprehensive on-site mock surveys and fire/life safety audits using actual DSHS protocols and WAC regulations — covering both the clinical and physical environment surveyors assess.
Learn moreOperational Support
Ongoing and project-based consulting to strengthen the systems behind your daily operations — QAPI, incident reporting, medication management, infection prevention, and more.
Learn morePolicy & Procedure Development
Custom policy and procedure development aligned to WAC regulations and CMS standards — built for how you actually operate, not adapted from a generic national template.
Learn moreClinical Support
Customized programs for clinical leaders and frontline teams — from one-to-one DNS leadership coaching to documentation training, regulatory deep dives, and post-survey follow-up support.
