PREMIER NURSE DELEGATION

In 2014, I was a hospital nurse working long shifts and watching the clock decide when I would go home. I knew there had to be more, so I took a leap into nurse delegation — back when most nurses did not even know it was a path.

 

Then in 2017, I did something most nurse delegators have never done.​

​

I opened my own Adult Family Home.

​

Six residents. A full staff. Three years of carrying it.

​

Because I am a nurse, I was my own delegator. Most Adult Family Home owners cannot do that. They rely on someone else — and the feedback I hear over and over is the same. Their delegator is hard to reach. The required documentation does not come on time. The service is not consistent. Their delegation falls out of compliance — visits get missed, paperwork lags, caregivers are left guessing.

 

I know what it is like to wake up at 2am running the list — a caregiver who called out and the scramble it created, the medications you need to review before morning, the appointments and errands waiting for tomorrow, and somewhere in there your own family and your own life. I know what it is like to carry the weight of an entire home on your shoulders — every hour, every day, with nowhere to set it down.

​​

A quiet truth I have learned along the way.

 

Life moves in seasons. Some stretch us. Some grow us. Some ask more of us than we thought we had to give.

 

If you own an Adult Family Home, you are in one of those seasons right now. So is every caregiver on your team. So is every resident under your roof. And the people who walk alongside us in those seasons matter more than we realize in the moment.

 

That is one of the most sacred parts of this work. I do not just provide a service. I get to step into your season for a little while and help carry what I can. That is a privilege, and I do not take it lightly.

​

In 2020, I sold the home. Owning an Adult Family Home is one of the most meaningful businesses anyone can run, and I went into it on purpose — to serve. Those three years shaped me more than any classroom could have.

 

But I never forgot what that weight feels like.

 

That is why Premier Nurse Delegation exists, and that is why it works the way it does.

 

Visits done on time. Documentation current. Caregivers trained thoroughly — not just delegated to, but actually taught how to administer medications safely and confidently. And the small things that make a big difference: how to organize the medication system, how to set up the MAR for fewer errors, how to keep the whole delegation side of your home running smoothly.

 

The kind of guidance I would have wanted as an Adult Family Home owner — and the kind of partnership I wish I had as a new Nurse Delegator starting out.

 

Every system, every process, every tool I am building is shaped by what I wished I had as an Adult Family Home owner and as a Nurse Delegator.

 

Twelve years in, with four daughters at home and 80+ Adult Family Homes served across Snohomish and King County, I am more focused, more experienced, and more committed to this work than ever.

 

I am building two paths forward:

 

For Adult Family Home owners: a nurse delegation partner who has been on your side of the table.

 

For Nurse Delegators and RNs entering the field: the tools, checklists, and systems that make starting easier — so you do not have to figure it all out from scratch.

 

That is the work. That is why I am here.

 

And whatever season you are in right now — I would be honored to walk part of it with you.
