The transition from construction to fully operational in any long-term care re/development project is about more than a finished building. It requires a comprehensive, coordinated approach to ensure your new home is ready to serve residents safely and in compliance from day one.

Whether you are approaching your project’s finish line or are just starting to plan, our experts will show you how to draw your roadmap for successful occupancy while highlighting practical tools and insights to save your team time, money and stress.
