MDS Coordinator

What is an MDS coordinator?

An MDS coordinator is an individual in nursing who helps manage a nursing team in a medical facility, such as a hospital or nursing home. MDS coordinators serve as liaisons in the intake and evaluation process of patients in long-term care facilities, where they're responsible for up-to-date assessments of the patient and oversee the interdisciplinary assessment for all nursing home patients. The MDS coordinator monitors patient care by assessing procedures, speaking with patients and recording medical codes. MDS coordinators also enter medical codes and are involved in medical billing processes, ensuring they maintain accurate medical records.

Joshua grew up in the business and after they married in 2005, Debra quickly joined him. They have 5 kids, ages 5-15, who love to help at work and spend time with the residents. Their faith in God is an especially important part of their life and is what motivates them to do what they do.
