Why MDS Academy exists
Too many new MDS coordinators are thrown into the role without proper training. They're expected to manage complex assessments, protect reimbursement, and maintain compliance — all while learning on the fly. The result? Costly errors, frustrated staff, and facilities that suffer.
But it doesn't have to be this way. With the right training, coordinators can build real confidence, protect their facility's bottom line, and deliver better outcomes for residents.
That's exactly why I created MDS Academy — to give every coordinator the skills, knowledge, and mentorship they need to succeed from day one.

The Bigger Picture
Imagine what's possible
Imagine walking into your facility and knowing your MDS process is airtight. Your coordinator completes accurate assessments without second-guessing. Denials drop. Reimbursement stabilizes. Your team feels empowered, not overwhelmed.
I've been where your staff is now — overwhelmed, under pressure, and learning through trial and error. That experience is exactly why I built this training. Because I know what it takes to go from unsure to confident, and I'm here to walk that path with your team.

Hey, I'm Connie Jones —
With nearly three decades in long-term care and certifications including my MBA, RAC-CTA, and QAPI Professional, I've walked the path your coordinators are on right now. I know the pressure, the complexity, and the stakes — because I've lived it at every level from CNA to VP.
That hands-on experience is what makes this training different. Every module is built from real-world scenarios, not textbook theory. My goal is simple: give your team the skills and confidence to protect your facility's reimbursement while delivering the best possible care.
