Karen Rice, LNHA, Gerontologist, Mediator’s Summary

Thanks for your interest.

I am an innovative Gerontologist - the one who focused on the pathological side of aging in school. It has been important to me to better understand Alzheimer's - and other types of dementia; cognitive impairment; and to problem-solve critical care and family issues. As a licensed nursing home administrator, I've been able to go full circle with the research process, learn the whys of compliance and build more successful infrastructures that provide quality dementia care. Licensure enhances my teaching and consulting which, combined broadens my platform for mediating the issues which help bring more peace and order to conflict. Similarly, these keep me current plus raise my awareness of the many unresolved issues. In my work, I get to the heart of the matter - establishing trust and winning client confidence are consistent results.

I believe people generally want to be understood; "heard", and I listen to understand the problem. I enjoy the challenge of unscrambling problems, developing and empowering others. I've helped healthcare professionals, longterm care leaders, national organizations, students across the education continuum as well as complex family structures to understand their situations, to find solutions, closure and satisfaction. I'm highly motivated in competitive business situations to produce winning solutions and maximize revenues and profit. With a genuine empathic approach, I find the positive in a conflict and work it in a win-win strategy.

I believe in inviting resolution with empathy.
