Long-term Care Management Services

In 1980, Zielinski Companies began offering institutional healthcare management services. Based on our long and very successful background with working with religious communities and our extensive background in healthcare management, we have developed a sound and proven approach to the very specialized area of long-term care services.

Service Overview

A ministry in healthcare is more challenging than ever, especially considering the changes and pressures brought about by government regulations, an ever changing payment system, litigious environment, rising costs, labor concerns, and maintenance issues. In order to be successful in today's competitive environment, it takes a sound structure, talented professionals, and the proper support mechanisms to deliver cost effective, high quality patient care.

We are specialists in providing interim or long-tem quality on-site management that can put you institution in a position to act upon and react to the future. Our on-site administrators are in daily contact with our headquarters in St. Louis, MO in order to tap into our resources of PhDs, MHAs, MBAs, financial experts and specialists in the assisted care field. In essence, you are receiving a qualified "team" of management professionals.

Our services are well suited for situations occurring in today's religious and healthcare environments. Your congregational member who has been managing your nursing home, for example, is ready for a change, and there are no members qualified or wanting to assume the position. Our healthcare management services can provide you with effective solutions.

Our experience in assisting religious for over 45 years has taught us that our most important goal is the successful strengthening of your ministry through the effective use of our management services. Let us demonstrate how and why we have been so successful by asking you to call our references.

Our Healthcare Service Goals

• Ensure the ongoing implementation of the congregation's mission and philosophy.
• Have our managers create a "quality of care atmosphere and provide the skill to address the total needs of your facilities.
• Maintain responsible stewardship of the ministry's limited resources.

Collaborative Relationships

Many congregations are realizing the benefits of collaborative relationships with other congregations involved in healthcare ministries. We can assist in developing collaborative facilities with capital planning, maintenance/modernization, budgeting and renovation programs. If you would like to explore these relationships, please contact us.

Consulting Services

Often a facility's administrator is able to deal with threats to mission, quality of care, third party reimbursement, government regulations and other demanding situations. Knowing when to use outside assistance to supplement existing resources is a mark of a very effective manager.
