Senior Care Provider Benefits
"Lifespan has been a huge asset to Coffman Nursing Home over many years. The communication provided on all issues surrounding nursing homes, laws, regulations, and changes are provided very quickly and accurately. I cannot express how valuable it is to attend conferences offered by Lifespan that not only provides valuable educational sessions, but also the chance to network with other providers, and members of the lifespan organization. They take the time to know who you are, and listen to any concerns you may have. It truly is an outstanding organization that I am happy to be a part of." ~ Shellie Hoffman, M.S., N.H.A., Administrator, Coffman Nursing Home, Inc.
