Sheletta Sprouse
Director, Nursing
“Fostering relationships is the key to our success,” says Sheletta Sprouse, RN MSN, whose team is comprised of 18 nurses and 30 certified nursing assistants caring for residents in rehab and long-term care. “I also serve as the liaison with our medical director, who is on staff at University Chicago Medicine.”
She adds, “Earning a master’s degree in nursing with an executive concentration prepared me to lead healthcare programs at 5-star communities. With the velocity of changes in healthcare, especially for our most vulnerable, I frequently advocate for residents. So many insurers want to rush the healing process. My job is to secure approval for treatment plans that provide adequate time for our patients to heal, to gain strength before they return their homes.”
